Bausch & Lomb Vintage Eyeglasses 50s-60s USA Made

This is a vintage eyewear frame from Bausch & Lomb, dating back to the 1950s-60s.

I purchased it a few years ago from a select shop as a vintage item.

The inner temples are stamped with:
"Bausch & Lomb"
"B&L 4517"
This is an authentic vintage piece.

The hinge structure is the classic 7-barrel hinge.
It's typical of American-made cell frames from the 50s-60s.

The straight, rugged front design and the thickness and texture of the cell material, unique to that era, are its defining features, giving it a presence not found in current products.
It's a piece that is not affected by trends, and is suitable for those who appreciate the atmosphere or for collection purposes.

**Verdigris** is visible on the hinge hardware due to aging.
Please understand this as a natural change for its age.
I have not performed any forceful cleaning or restoration, and it retains its original condition.

I consulted an optician about having prescription lenses made, but due to the frame's age and characteristics, they were unable to accommodate.
Therefore, this item is being sold as fashion glasses or for collection purposes.

I hope to sell it to someone who understands vintage items and used goods, and who appreciates their value and history.

Thank you for looking.
