Metal Eyeglasses, 1965 - 1975

I recently purchased a warehouse stock of metal frames made in the late 1960's to mid 1970's.  These frames are never used and in their original packaging.  Frames from this period tend to be sturdy in manufacture. This period also saw the introduction of new lens shapes. Traditionally, lenses were round, oval, ovid, and octagon. New lenses tended to be rectangular or square with corners rounded to soften these shapes.

Plastic frames from this period also have a rectangular or squarish shape, often with oversize lenses.

Classic late 1965's eyeglasses made by Art Craft. We have several sizes of this design.

The bridge area can be adusted up or down by 4 mm. For example, a bridge area listed as 18 mm can be adjusted down to 16mm or up to 20mm.
All these frames are in excellent condition.
