Rare horn-rimmed Wellington glasses
issued to the US Army.
At the time, this model was manufactured by major American brands
such as AO and Bausch & Lomb to strict U.S. government specifications
and produced as an issue model for the US Army.
This is why many pairs can be found where the brand name
does not necessarily match between the front and temple markings.
This particular pair has a USS front and
USS-made temples.
A perfected design focused on simplicity and quality.
Please enjoy the established design and
the unique appeal of vintage eyewear.
*
A perfect deadstock pair in excellent condition with no thinning of the acetate.
The authentic vintage frame, which you can truly feel when you hold it,
possesses a genuine appeal that cannot be satisfied by the many copies
and replicas commonly found on the market.
