Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

[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!

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…..

It really is a work of art.

Paula thinks they make me look girly, but i don't give a crap….

[Giles]

And here you are Finn…..(phew, I got in before him)....

[jdl1279]

Even if no one else will, I'll be honest. I'm not manly enough to pull off something so effeminate. Takes a real hard ass to make those work
