info Oliver Goldsmith Eyewear began almost 100 years ago and are still going today. Although their peak period was through the 1960s, when movie stars and Royals were wearing OG designs, they were still producing cutting edge designs throughout the 1970s when this pair, Exeter was made. We have found this pair having never been worn with the original sticker on the inside which denotes the colourway: Marsh. We've had this model in the past in Peat and Brown Ash, so OG was obvs going through a rural period. The other temple proudly states Made in England, although OG did over the years have their frames made on the continent as well. (You can read more about the history of OG sunglasses on their Oliver Goldsmith Sunglasses site, which do remakes of the old designs, but not this one.) The lenses in this pair a mid-brown gradient, the top of the lens matching the brown tones in the frame. It is a large frame, we reckon unisex. Oliver Goldsmith frames and sunglasses are now exhibited in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. — klasik |
