The mysterious french brand Augusta G pops up every once in a while, known for fantastic, over the top handmade creations. This reverse temple cateye frame, believe it or not, is one of the more tame styles I've encountered! Unworn deadstock/NOS in wonderful vintage condition, with notes.
Frame: Was stored/protected in an optician's warehouse. Color pops. Some faint storage scuff/scratches - but nothing that detracts from the wearability or awesomeness of this hard to find frame. Some of the text on the inside of the temples has slightly rubbed off, but "Augusta G", "France" and "Depose" (trademarked) are still visible. Frame has been priced accordingly.
Hardware: Barrel hinges are intact, no verdegris/oxidation.
Lenses: Brown gradient UV lenses are new!
Note these frames are at least 70 years old, and it is typical to require slight adjustments on any frame to fit any individual closer to perfect, handled by your eyecare professional.
Measurements in inches. Note that a size imprinted on a given frame may not necessarily match with the actual measurements.
See diagram in the last listing photo. Please compare measurements against a pair of your favorite spex.
