info Very old optical frame from American Optical - perhaps the largest optical frame maker in the US in the 20th century - this pair dates from the late 1940s. We know this due to the shape and design and materials. A simple frame, panto shape with high joints, mitred to meet the temples, pinned through front and sides with a two pin arrangement. Broad key-hole bridge allows for different bridge sizes so if you have one of those noses that never seems to fit the standard rounded bridge, then this pair could be for you.Back then marketing and branding very understated, the frame is merely stamped AO very small on the inside of the left temple. The inside of the temple ends have been incised for grip. A quality piece of optical history in excellent condition, hardly worn. — klasik |
