Oh what a find. Mid Century Cat EyeGlass Frames. Scout spied these. She is quite the vintage fashion finder sidekick. Wonderful aluminum frame with 12 karat gold filled bridge. Beautiful leaf motif inlay at temples. These are so fabulous. Here is what I can tell you about them.
They currently have their original bifocal lenses in place. They are ready for your prescription or sunglass update.
The inside frame reads:
side: ALUM 5
side: 1/2 American Optical - with a stylized symbol and 5 1/2
front inside: 48 and a square or a stylized zero & the other side reads the same along with ALUM
The inside bridge reads: 20 and a square with a symbol that looks like an A and an O partially overlayed - we think it is the American Optical logo? along with 12 KGF. (12 karat gold filled)
These are different from others I have seen in that the aluminum frame completes the design - the ear sections are not a plastic coated metal.
They show wear that is normal for glasses of this era. They appear to have been worn on a daily basis but well loved and cared for. You can see a section of adhesive or ??? has broken away from the rim - right lens as you are looking at them. It hasn't affected the stability of these lenses.
Please view all photos well and send me any questions. I want my buyers happy - this could be YOU! :) All vintage items have character. They've been around the block a few times. These glasses were worn by a woman of great character and are ready to adorn another. They are totally cool.
I ship USPS mail incorporating clean, recycled packaging. Please don't hesitate to convo me with any questions you may have.
