A super cool pair of late-war military sunglasses made by Rochester Optical These are actually a rather hard piece to research, and I haven't any original specifications or usage. So they story goes they're aviator glasses, but the few references I had find to the company the made them point toward safety goggles. Either way, an early example of making sunnies out of shatterproof plastic over glass and metal. 

Condition

Good used condition. Some mild warping to the arms and hinges, but he arms can be gently shaped and they fit me great and look awesome.

Size

  • Approx 5" across the frames
  • Approx 5.5" arms
  • These are quite small lenses, but they my large head comfortably.
