If you want to find the best quality design and craftsmanship in eyewear, you don't need to look beyond 1930s America.

Manufacturers like Bausch & Lomb and American Optical were producing super-fine engraved and gold filled frames that would cost a small fortune today.

Most frames are shown with their original lenses, which can of course be replaced with your own prescription if you have a good optician.

Some have reading lenses, which if you are lucky might not need replacing!

Also, we can reglaze almost any frame with new light-weight acrylic sunglass lenses, if you prefer.

Regarding gold filled
There is 10 time more gold in gold-filled than gold- plated!
