Shuron Ronsir tortoise on gold combination frames are brand new, mint condition and ready for
prescription or sunglass lenses.
The frames shown in the photos are a 46-22 frame, marked ''46 22'' on the
bridge, ''46'' on the frame and ''SHURON USA RONSIR 5 3/4'' on the temples. Other
size frames are marked the same way, each according to their sizes. The temples
shown are the Shuron ''Taper'' style, but please note that there are several
other styles of temples available, too!

These are brand new, though made pretty much just like they've made them back since the
1950s and I have to tell you, they really are well-made glasses. (This is from
someone who handles mostly vintage frames from the golden age of American
craftsmanship, so I really have seen some of the best frames ever made, or at
least I like to think so!) The finish on the new Ronsir frames is always
well-done, the screws are cooperative and the plastic is tough stuff. They do a
good job on the little details, too, no dangling plastic machine fragments or
big solder blobs I sometimes see on contemporary frames. So,
since these are brand new, what is different from Shuron Ronsir frames of
yesteryear? The nose pads changed from bakelite / mother of pearl back in the late Forties, so they've been using clear ones for a long time. The nose pad fittings were recently changed, making it much simpler to find replacement pads. Besides that,
they really are pretty much the same as they've always been! Great
glasses, brand new, mint condition!

Temples are measured to 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. TEMPLES:
I stock the standard adult men's temple length of 5 3/4 inches (145 mm) and the
slightly longer
6 inch (150 mm) in both the ''Taper'' and the
''Slipper'' styles shown below. The
Slipper style is associated with earlier models of the Ronsir and other makers
also used the same style early on in the history of combination frames. The
Taper style is more of a 1950s development. The 5 1/2 inch (140 mm) and a very long 6 1/4 inch
(158 mm) are available on order with the listed turnaround. There are also cable temples, one called
the ''Relaxo'' and similar in shape to the
''Slipper'' and an all-metal cable
temple Shuron calls the ''Aztec''.
The photos do show them in silver, but for the tortoise frames, they come in
gold to match the rims and bridge.

COLORS: They come in other colors,
too:
black,
mocha, Cordova
and several faux woodgrain patterns so
popular during the Fifties:
black briar,
gray briar and
golden briar. These
are true classics in brand new, mint condition. They make great everyday glasses or some very cool sunglasses.
