About this item

A vintage pair of sunglasses stamped "LECTOR 90" inside the temple. The mottled havana tortoise acetate front has a flat straight brow line and rounded teardrop (pilot) lenses joined by a sculpted saddle bridge, fitted with solid olive brown lenses. Each temple carries a gold-tone arrow-shaped hinge plate and two thin silver-tone metal bands, and the inner side shows the decorative feather-engraved metal core wire through the translucent acetate, a mid-century construction detail. A compact 44 mm size with a classic mid-century look.
