New! Item #ag903, Fantastic New/Old 1950s Black Ray-Ban Style Sunglasses - Pinky Amber Lenses

  • Outstanding pair of deadstock, never worn black Ray-Ban style unisex sunglasses with rare pinky amber lenses

  • Ca. 1950s, early 60s - 'SunGlass' label, each pair is also stamped 'Japan' (no 'made in' stamp)
  • These are high-quality, plastic or lucite glasses with plastic lenses, however, they are not the cheapy plastic we see so often today! Double screws at each corner and at top of each arm.
  • Measure 5-1/2" across the front with 1-3/4" high lenses; arms measure 5-1/2" long from front to ear piece
  • Several pairs available - unisex styling should fit most head sizes although the arms are still very tight so if you have an overly large cranium (you know who you are!) these may pinch until stretched with wear......rare find!

  • In excellent, never used condition however does have a few boo-boos; there is a 1" crack near the front right corner which we repaired (so won't spread or flake off) There is also another dime sized area on the back left side where the plastic has cracked and is missing (also repaired by us) This has left a slightly milky look to the plastic in thar area, but there should be no further breakage there. The plastic itself is slightly stiff throughout from poor storage but the purse is very usable - just wouldn't overfill! There is a dime sized area on the front left coral where the color appears to be missing (may be a machine error?) Truly doesn't detract as you will see in our large photos. Clasp is excellent, stones intact, closes firmly, interior is near mint as well. A bit of goldtone sheen is missing on the top frame, that is all.
  • Still a very rare find! One of a kind and stunning with brighter colors in person.......
