Great pair of Shuron-Continental clear bridge frames from the late 1950s or earlier 1960s. The slate grey tone is a fun find I don't see very often and the triple temple rivets are very cool. These have never had lenses and were likely demo frames because they reached me without the frame envelope. Nice keyhole bridge with deep tabs, snug five-barrel temples, very clear zyl, super frames, ready to go!

Temples are measured their full length, hinge to tip, as though they were straightened out. Why? Because they're adjustable, so measurements to the bend vary based on maker and adjustment. Lens and bridge measurements are from lens edge to lens edge. Hinge to hinge is measured from screw to screw.

All frames are thoroughly inspected before leaving the Attic. I'm thorough about condition so there are no surprises and these glasses are in mint condition. They'll make great everyday glasses or some very cool sunglasses.
