About this item
A rare mid-century Haby P-57 frame in thick, glossy black acetate. The compact square front with a sculpted keyhole-style bridge and panto influence is set off by two silver rivet pins on each front corner and matching pinned hinges, with dark green lenses. The model number "P-57" is printed in white inside the temple.
Brand heritage
Haby is a little-documented mid-century eyewear name; surviving Haby frames from the 1950s turn up only rarely. We could not verify a detailed company history, so we offer this frame purely on what it shows: classic 1950s construction, hand-finished thick acetate and an original model marking.

- Scarce 1950s Haby frame with "P-57" marking inside the temple
- Thick glossy black acetate with gold-tone rivet pins
