These classic G-man Malcolm X vintage black silver eyeglasses are in mint condition and ready for your prescription lenses. The bridge is marked ''1/10 12K GF 22'', the frame is stamped ''44'' and the arms read ''Imperial 5 1/2 USA''. The markings mean the lower half of the frame is 12 karat gold-filled. The arms and brows have a nice sheen with no cracks, crazing or discoloration.
Great pair of combinations from Imperial Optical out of Hialeah, Florida. These date from the 1950's. The brows and arms are plastic. The model name is ''Kingsley'' and this is a real classic frame, never been worn, never had lenses, perfect new old stock condition. The hinges are nice and tight, the temples show no wear and the nose pads are clear and clean. These frames are in mint condition.
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. Also remember that temples can be changed, so if this length isn't quite right for you, let me know - I may have a matching pair! 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 thorough 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.
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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
