Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

[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

[4c]

Just picked up these for ten bucks in perfect condition! Polarized and hand made in Italy.
feeling better already… 

hooray for rummaging!

Nice find 4c.  I'll be picking up some maui Jim's legends pretty soon.

Following Rafa's instructions?  That's a dangerous precedent to be setting.

From my friend Kurt of Faith In Taiwan.  I made the mistake of saying how much I liked his, then these just turned up…..

Classic No2 from Faith.  Made in Japan....
