Wire Rim Eyeglasses

The nose pad was invented in the early 1920's. The nose pad allowed the lens to be further away from the face. No longer was the width of lenses restricted to a size that fit under the eyebrow. The Marshwood style with round, ovid, and oval lenses in a wire-bound frame was one of the most successful styles to develop as a result of the nose pad.

Metal Frames made between 1965 and 1975 are unique in design and much sought after. I recently purchased a warehouse stock of such frames. All these frames are new and in their original packaging. Most were made by Art Craft. We do have a few frames made by Bausch & Lomb, Unisys, and other American manufacturers.
