CONDITION
These sunglasses are pre-owned vintage/antique item, over 60 years old, is from a 1960s production. They have been used, and show some signs of wear commensurate with age. The condition is very good, has no cracks to the frame, but some very small nicks and scratches.  The lens color is vibrant, glossy, but there is some very minor surface wear, in addition, the flip top portion has slight warping at the points. One of the nose pads is a little loose and needs to be tightened. The metal frame shows some signs of oxidation/wear, however, it has not been professionally cleaned and/or polished, we thought it best left to the new owner.
