Vintage Asdor National F104 Sunglasses Black Acetate Gold Hinge Green Lens 56mm

About this item

A bold vintage pair of men's sunglasses by Asdor, the Italian eyewear maker. The large, softly squared black acetate front has a sculpted saddle bridge and angular gold-tone "L" shaped hinge plates. The black acetate temples carry three wavy gold wire inlays near the hinge and are fitted with Asdor's metal-reinforced hinges, fixed with slotted screws. Dark green lenses give a classic, neutral tint.

The inside of one temple is stamped "F104 NATIONAL", the other "ASDOR" (partly worn), and the temple tip is stamped "135".

Brand heritage

Asdor was an Italian eyewear brand known to collectors for its 1970s and 1980s acetate frames with distinctive reinforced hinges and decorative metal inlays. The National is one of its larger men's models and is rarely offered for sale.
