These are deadstock items that were stored unused in the warehouse of a shop that ran an eyeglasses store until the 1980s.
There are no problems with the condition of the glasses, and the clear nose pads have turned slightly amber due to aging, but this is common for glasses of this age and is within the acceptable range.
A rare color that is not something you can buy with money.
In this state of preservation, it really didn't come out.
This is a masterpiece that represents AO.
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.
