Wonderful pair of frames from Bausch and Lomb, likely made in the later 1960s or early 1970s. They were a display model and will come with the non-Rx demo lenses that were in the frames. They're in superb condition. Nice finish throughout, clear temple tips and nose pads, both original B&L, nice tight hinges without any wobble and the screws are all tested and working properly. Super pair of frames, ready for lenses and years of service!

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.
