American Optical: The pioneer of American eyewear
The rocket-shaped rivets adorning the horn rim are a mid-century design symbolizing the American Space Age, which was abuzz with the moon landing, and are also a timeless design that remains firmly linked to the present day, when private rockets have made space travel a reality.
The horn rims protruding from both sides are hand-polished and shaped. The deep texture is unique to American acetate from this era.
High quality and luxurious details.
You can enjoy creating your own unique style that no one else has. This is the real thing from that time.
*A beautiful item in good condition with no deterioration or cell thinning.
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.
