These frames have not been worn. Though they are not marked, I will tell you they're most certainly British- or European made and the material is not silver or gold, but probably one of the typical eyeglass alloys such as aluminum. Everything is in perfect shape, the screws are tested and working, the hinges give good resistance, the temples show no wear, even at the ears, and the bridge is smooth and clean. These frames are in mint condition.

How to measure for vintage frames.

Wire rims are flexible, so lenses can be made to a variety of shapes for this frame. This style is worn round, but can also be worn with nearly round lenses or other shapes. Remember that temples are always measured their full length, hinge to tip, as though they were straightened out. Why? Because they're adjustable, so measurements to the bend will vary based on who wore the frame! Lens and bridge measurements are from lens edge to lens edge. Hinge to hinge is measured from screw to screw.

I describe any flaws found while cleaning, but there are no problems to report with this pair.  I'm picky about condition so there are no surprises and can honestly say these glasses are in mint condition. They'll make great everyday glasses or some very cool sunglasses.
