From American Optical,
pioneer of American eyewear,
the Z87 Safety model was introduced for engineers.
A rare early SURE-GUARD model, predating FLEXI-FIT.
With its distinctly AO design capturing the spirit of the era,
it works well with everything from casual to formal outfits.
Among AO's many safety glasses,
this basic Wellington style
became a long-running bestseller.

This exceptionally fine pair shows no celluloid shrinkage or deterioration
and has been stored in excellent condition.
We had UV gray fade lenses (30%) fitted to suit these frames
at a lab in Burbank, the heart of Hollywood's film industry,
which produces many sunglass lenses for movies and TV.
The tint is light enough to let the other person faintly see your eyes when worn.
Ready to wear as soon as they arrive.

These authentic vintage frames have a quality you can appreciate in hand,
with a genuine look and feel that copies and reproductions found everywhere
simply cannot match.
