A safety frame released for engineers by American Optical, a long-established American frame brand.
This is a long-selling basic Wellington frame from AO, and you can enjoy the atmosphere of the time.
It has established a style that is characteristic of AO.
A rare early model of SURE-GUARD, predating FLEXI-FIT.
* It comes with a genuine AO glass lens, but if you look closely you can see a few very slight scratches from years of storage.
It is not at a level that obstructs vision.
Other than that, this is deadstock and in good condition with no cell thinning over time, which is common with this model.
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.
