This is a pair of my funky vintage 1970s "American Hustle" movie-style reading glasses.
They are good-quality designer ones - they are from the Silhouette range and were made in Austria - as annotated on the arm side.
In 1964, Anneliese and Arnold Schmied founded the Silhouette company. They concentrated on creating some of the world’s most beautiful eyewear that was both of top-qualiy and made with absolute precision.
On the left-hand arm (inside) are the words: Frames Austria Silhouette
On the right-hand arm (inside) is SPX M 1746 C 1693 58-14 135
They are genuine vintage ones - about 40 years old.
In very good and clean condition - so no grubbiness. And you won't be put off wearing them. They are listed here at a very fair price.
There is no scratching or chewing of the arms etc. Nice a pair as you might see. They come with their original prescription lens in them.
I need reading glasses - and usually wear a 3-strength. I would think that these might be about over 4 in strength for reading. I put them on and everything is quite blurry for me. Of course, it is so easy these days to get vintage frames and get our own lens installed. They are good quality ones.
Overall Width: 13.5 mm. The bridge width is 13 mm. Each lens part is 60 mm wide and has a height of 50 mm. The arm length is 110 mm.
Nice pair of vintage designer glasses - good quality with no condition issues. Sorry unable to post to EU locations.
UK Postage with them packed in a wee sturdy box to you - would be £4.95 - and this would be applied to your order at the check out.
