Picked up some AO safety sunglasses and I need a case. Any recommendations on a reasonable leather case?

Shit….

Be careful with the ao. My pair was left in the sunglasses thing in my car for a day and the heat warped them into an off shape

4c, anything from front on? Seeing a lot of label, but not much glass

[4c]

Sure Snowy… 

[Snowy]

Thanks! Those lenses look really interesting. Unique score, glad they're #1

[Qinhan]

My new AO's.  Really like 'em.

@4c:

Best sunglasses I’ve ever had… Between you and me (and everybody else on the internet) that’s saying something…

I had a pair that I loved for sunny skiing….That was until I did a face plant in them....

[4c]

Ouch!
I feel your pain G, I just shattered some original brass framed/glass lenses Ray Bans this Saturday that I would guess were from the 40’s-60’s…

4C,

That would burn my ass. Not Rayban, not sure what they are, brass frame, glass lens, Bakelite crossbar and nose pieces

[4c]

Those are nice! I never knew that stuff was Bakelite… cool!

[jdl1279]

Thanks, going on what a couple old timers have told me about them. It's certainly a early version of plastic and I have seen sunglasses almost identical made completely out of Bakelite. Given the glass lenses and brass frames it seems right that any plastic on them would be so. Best part, I picked these up at a rummage sale
