info Helmecke were established by Gerhard Helmecke in 1947, based in northern West Germany, near the Danish border. He built a state of the art factory and was incredibly successful, starting out simply making frame temples and then moving into design and manufacture of their own frames and sunglasses. This is Jane: we know this as it appears in a catalogue we have from 1968. It was introduced the year before and came in two sizes and eight colours, this is their Green. It was part of a range that Helmecke that appealed to "younger folk of both sexes" so brought out frames in bright colours to encourage purchasing extra pairs of glasses. This pair though definitely aimed at women by naming it Jane. It is a crystal frame with a thin layer of green on both sides, pinned front and sides, with straight temples with serrated ends. We've also previously had it in the Autumn Leaf colour. — klasik |
