info 'Marwitz' stamped here on the arm of this 1980s big boy is 'Marwitz and Hauser'. This company was based in Stuttgart and started in 1918. It was one of a handful of high-end German makers of eyewear and became famous for superlative quality. In 1958 Carl Zeiss had acquired a majority shareholding in Marwitz whihc is why Marwitz sunglasses frames were always fitted with the Zeiss sherry tinted Umbral mineral glass lenses - this pair being the darker 85% LTF shade. Yves Chantal was a range of their sunglasses thast were produced in the 1970s and 80s and this pair is a LARGE example - see size guide. Frame condition marked down to 'good' only because a previous owner etched their initials on the inside of the right arm, barely discernable from the outside. — klasik |
