About this item

An unworn new-old-stock pair of 1960s IOM sunglasses, model No. 915. The square front is in warm amber tortoiseshell acetate, with gold-plated metal end pieces that wrap the outer corners and run into wide, flat gold-plated temples finished with black acetate ear tips. Brown gradient lenses complete a confident mid-century look that suits both men and women.

Brand heritage

IOM is a little-documented vintage eyewear label; its frames carry a small IOM emblem and a model number on the temples. We found no reliable published history for the maker, so we describe this pair only from what is on the frame and from the original old stock it came from (stated by us earlier as Hong Kong production).

Why this one is special

• New old stock: never worn, never fitted
• Combination build: tortoiseshell acetate front with wide gold-plated metal temples
• Stamped IOM emblem on the temple and "No. 915" on the ear tip
• Classic 1960s square shape with brown gradient lenses
