Scroll through all images to see the awesomeness.
Photos are from the famous London 1973 shoot, but these frames are dated from the 60s.
Research has shown that Solflex was the brand behind these brilliant frames.
The quality pin hinges, "bow-tie" frame front and temple earpiece shape is synonymous with the brand.

Frame: Color pops. The faintest of edgewear- see photo of face-facing side of the upper right socket.
No bite marks on earpieces/pitting at nosepads or discernible scratches/scuff. Very thick solid construction.
Hardware: Solid quality 5-barrel pin hinges are completely intact.
The original non-rx gray lenses exhibit only the faintest storage marks. Visibility remains clear.
Note these frames are at least 50 years old, and it is typical to require slight adjustments on any frame - handled by your eyecare professional.
