American Optical: The pioneer of American eyewear
An icon of AO born in the mid-century.
This is a later model, not 12KGF (gold plated).
A masterpiece that is beyond reproach, both in terms of quality and comfort.
This timeless combination was a classic that was loved by many celebrities at the time, including Malcolm X.
Enjoy the charm of a timeless masterpiece that only the original OG can offer, not a replica.
*It is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain items in good condition, but this is dead stock with no rust or deterioration on the frame and in perfect condition.
The nose pads have slightly discolored to a caramel color, but this is a aging phenomenon that occurs in all models of this model, and is a slight discoloration that is typical of deadstock glasses, not quite the yellow color that is often seen, so I don't think it's noticeable.
There are many vintage frames on the market that you can feel the real thing when you hold them in your hands, and they have established an authentic appeal that cannot be achieved by copies or replicas.
