Check out My Ebay Store for a Great Selection of Quality Vintage Eyeglass and Sunglass Frames in Excellent Condition!!

Established in 1950, We have been Selling Vintage Eyewear before They Were Vintage!!!

Our Frames Really Are From an Old Optical Shop.



Description

NOS Vintage Eyeglasses or Sunglasses Frame In Excellent Condition!

Originally designed by B&L in the 50's and later copied by many other companies to meet government demand mainly during the Vietnam war. This Frame was U.S. Government issue, U.S.G.I., during the 60's and 70's. Soldiers lovingly nicknamed them "BCG's", for Birth Control Glasses, thinking they would never get lucky wearing them. They last forever and I have always really liked them. I consider them one of the True Classics and  have a few pair, one in Sunglasses.

CONDITION

Frame, Trim and Hinges are Bright and Shiny and in EXCELLENT  UNUSED Condition!!!

This Pair is Ready for Your Prescription or Sunglass Lenses or would make a Great Addition to Your Collection.

 I am the 4th generation in the optical industry. My grandfather and great grandfather were M.D.s. My father, wife and I are certified opticians. My father started our business in 1950 when he bought out the American Optical (A/O) owned and operated shop in East St. Louis, IL. Before that he worked for Bausch & Lomb B&L. By being around so long we have accumulated a huge collection of Vintage Eyewear both New and Used. I am always digging around in the store rooms and finding treasures. Also we are located close to Scott Air Force Base and have a large number of New and Used Military eyeglass frames. Put me on your favorite seller list because you never know what I will find next. We are running out of room so both the New and Old must go and I will get them listed as fast as time permits. Between the 3 of us we have over 100 years experience so you can buy with confidence.
