Brand: Ray Ban x Bausch & Lomb
Style/Model: Outdoorsman
Material: Metal
Colorway: Gold
Place of Origin: Handmade, USA
Approx. frame size: 62/14/135
Pre-Luxxotica take over, the mid-70s frames with horizontal etched lenses are particularly special. Gently pre-owned frame in fantastic vintage condition - with notes.
Frame: Gold metal pops. There is mild edgewear, does not detract from wearability or awesomeness. Frame has been priced accordingly.
Stamped bridge: BL 62 14 USA
Hardware: Barrel hinges are intact, no verdegris/oxidation. Original browbar, nosepads and earpieces are intact. Not yellowed/brittle, remain pliable.
Lenses: Original non-rx green lenses with the atypical horizontal (sideways) etched BL on the outer edges at the hinges. (They did not begin to stamp the "Ray Ban" logo on the upper lens area until the early 80s.) Very faint scuff/scratches. Visibility remains clear.
Original case, equally great vintage condition, some patina on snap cover and light markings. Hard plastic interior is clean.
Note these frames are at least 40 years old, and it is typical to require slight adjustments on any frame to fit any individual closer to perfect.
Measurements in inches. Note that a size imprinted on a given frame may not necessarily match with the actual measurements.
