The timeless masterpiece "Thermont" from American Optical, the pioneer of American eyewear, born in the mid-century.
A luxurious combination with gold plating (12KGF).
An iconic visual featuring wing hinges.
This is a true masterpiece produced by AO, a company whose products were loved by many celebrities at the time, including Malcolm X.
*A miraculous deadstock item that has been in perfect condition since it was made half a century ago and has been sleeping ever since.
The nose pads have turned slightly amber in color due to aging.
I think this is about within the acceptable range for something of this age.
Proof of originality: AO engraved red dot screws (screws with red heads) on the temples.

The realistic vintage frames that you can feel when you hold them in your hands have an authentic appeal that cannot be matched by the many copies and replicas on the market.
