info The Windsor frame - a wire rim with a plastic (zylonite) cover - was first developed by the American Optical company and sold throughout the 1920's and 30's, its longevity due to the increasing popularity of plastic frames. The zylonite covers on this pair are a mottled brown and the frame is a silver metal. It was made here in the east end of London by Algha Optical who started in the early 1930s when Max Wiseman opened his metal frame making factory in Fish Island/Hackney Wick. The factory still stands - just - but Algha long gone. This would have been an optical frame originally but we occasionally offer this type as sunglasses due to popular demand. We had them fitted with Klasik Grey sunglasses lenses and the medium size means that they could be worn by men or women. — klasik |
