info Metzler (since 1830) are still going today and are proud to boast how many millions frames they sell around the world per year in how many countries... Back in the 60s they were known for making quality gold-fill frames like these purpose built sunglasses which they usually fitted with Carl Zeiss sun lenses: these are the Umbral 85s, the darker of their sherry tinted lenses, each lens etched with the CZ logo stamped on the arm). In the late 1960s when this pair was made, high content gold-fill frames were usually the preserve of optical frames so these sunglasses would have been incredibly expensive, especially considering they were fitted with these Zeiss lenses. The lenses are okay - just a couple of small marks out of vision but if you want them replaced at any time in the future, we could have them fitted with new Zeiss Umbrals which we keep in the same 85% abs tint. This pair are quite large, so check size before you buy. — klasik |
