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 chestnut brown and are new: this zylonite rim cover is still available and as there was a small split in the original, we had it replaced in the same colour. The frame has a patent number impressed under the bridge which when searched, we couldn't find, so we are unable to give the maker. Suffice to say that it looks to be 1920s and the patent probably referred to the unusual bridge: all one pice in gold fill metal, including the golf club type nose pieces. It is a small frame so check size before you buy, but suitable for men/women and all ages. — klasik |
