The layered acetate Khanh frames were affectionately nicknamed the "Jellies".
Gently pre-owned frame in great vintage condition - with notes.
Frame: Color pops. No bite marks on earpieces, pitting at nosepads or deep scratches/scuff. There is a tiny divet on the inside of the right socket nearest the bridge - most likely the scuff happened when the original lenses had been inserted, does not affect lensing and cannot be seen when worn; also, the very beginnings of a hairline fracture can be felt in the bend of the left earpiece, but you really have to hold the frame under a light to locate it. Due to these nuances the frame has been priced accordingly.
Hardware: Barrel hinges are intact, no verdegris/oxidation.
Lenses: Frames only.
Note these frames are at least 30 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.
