These classic Anglo American tortoise plastic eyeglasses are brand new, mint condition and ready for prescription lenses or for sunglasses. The temples are marked ''Anglo American Optical Frame England ce MOD 406 AH 50-21'' and the glasses are otherwise unmarked. Other sizes are marked the same way, each according to size. The plastic has a nice sheen and finish throughout and the double rivets shine bright.
This is a brilliant frame from a well-respected maker, Anglo American Optical. This is their model 406, a true classic. It's a newly minted frame, made in England in a variety of sizes and colors, but the frames in the photos are their ''AH'' color, which stands for Amber Havana Blonde, optical frames jargon for a light amber and dark brown tortoise pattern. They're very well-made, with real, riveted five barrel hinges, nice and snug as they should be. The bridge is the traditional keyhole style with clear bridge tabs and the hornrims have a generous extension. These really are brilliant eyeglasses, ready for years of fashionable service.
Temples are measured their full length, hinge to tip, as though they were straightened out. Why? Because they're adjustable, so measurements to the bend vary. Lens and bridge measurements are from lens edge to lens edge. Hinge to hinge is measured from screw to screw. This frame is available in several sizes and a variety of colors, including clear, black and amber, as well as several other tortoise patterns. If you think you've seen this frame before, you probably have… it's a famous one! I'm occasionally asked if these are authentic Anglo American frames and yes, they really are. They carry the manufacturer warranty. I'm thorough about condition so there are no surprises and all frames are very thoroughly inspected before leaving the Attic. These are brilliant frames and they'll make great everyday glasses or some very cool sunglasses.
If you have any questions about this pair of glasses or anything else, please don't hesitate to contact me. I try to answer all questions promptly.
