American Optical, the pioneer of American eyewear, has released the Z87 Safety Glasses for engineers.
This is a rare early model from the later period, before the FLEXI-FIT logo was added, with an atmospheric shape on the temple ends.
Valuable safety glasses equipped with genuine AO lenses
A typical AO style that captures the atmosphere of the time.
The basic Wellington has become a long-selling item among the many well-established AO safeties.
*This is deadstock in good condition with no signs of cell thinning over time, which is common with this model.
Genuine lens included
There are some small scratches from storage over the years.
It is not at a level that obstructs vision.
The realistic vintage frames that you can feel when you hold them in your hands have an authentic texture and charm that cannot be matched by the many copies and replicas on the market.
