From the long-established eyewear brand [COC],
Continental Optical Company,
this is a piece from their early series
that holds historical significance in eyewear.
A staple Continental model featuring
an incredibly simple round shape
highlighted by gold-filled (12KGF) material
and accented with black celluloid rim wrapping.
It embodies the dedicated craftsmanship of an era
when glasses were treated as fine jewelry.
Unimaginable for something 80 years old,
this is handmade art made possible only in that era.
With its exquisite quality, it is a highly valuable piece
not only for daily wear but also as a
collector's item or historical reference.
The main feature of these cable temples is their unique curve,
which gently wraps around the back of the ears to ensure
the glasses do not slip, even during vigorous movement.
They cause little fatigue even when worn for long hours
and maintain a stable fit, which is why they are highly favored
by musicians who move around on stage and by those
active in fields that require significant body movement.
It is a reliable temple design that combines
comfort and practicality.
＊
Condition:
Excellent condition, well-preserved after sleeping for nearly half a century
in the warehouse of a former optometrist who went out of business 30 years ago.
The chrome surface in particular retains its original luster.

Please enjoy the good old American workmanship
that cannot be replicated even with today's technology.
