These classic 50s tortoise plastic vintage eyeglasses are in mint condition and ready for your prescription lenses. The frame is stamped ''50 - 24'' and the arms read ''SRO 145 MADE IN AMERICA FIFTIES DA''. The plastic has a nice sheen with no cracks, crazing or discoloration and the metal decorations shine.

This is the ''Fifties'' model frame in the ''demi amber'' color, commonly called tortoise shell. The frame is made by Styl-Rite Optics, out of New York and it's unused vintage stock, never worn, never had lenses, not even demos. They've got strong 7 barrel hinges, clear, sleek bridge tabs, broad tapered hinges and how about those classic gold cigar rivet shields! Very boss, very cool, very hep! The hinges are nice and tight, the temples show no wear, even at the ears, and the bridge is smooth and clean. These frames are in mint condition.

Remember that temples are always measured their full length, hinge to tip, as though they were straightened out. Why? Because they're adjustable, so measurements to the bend will vary based on who wore the frame! Lens and bridge measurements are from lens edge to lens edge. Hinge to hinge is measured from screw to screw.

I describe any flaws found while cleaning, but there are no problems to report with this pair. I'm thorough about condition so there are no surprises and can honestly say these glasses are in mint condition. They'll make great everyday glasses or some very cool sunglasses.
