What a great pair of early Freeway frames from Shuron. These likely date from the later 1950s or early 1960s and are in super shape. They're a generous size for a vintage frame. Love those rivets on the fronts - ready for rollin' on the Freeway! The hinges are nice and tight and the bridge is smooth and clean. These frames are in really excellent condition.

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 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.

There are very light scuff marks on the temples at the places where they touch when folded closed. This is really minor and not visible when worn, but I give the full report. Great frames! I'm thorough about condition so there are no surprises and these glasses are in really excellent condition. They'll make great everyday glasses or some very cool sunglasses.
