Ray-Ban Wayfarer 5024 L2053 Tortoise Shell Wayfarer Sunglasses

1 The classic! Sleek and cool, original Ray-Ban 5024 Wayfarer sunglasses are very hard and feature the Wayfarer tortoise shell frame and Bausch & Lomb G-15 anti-glare lenses. The Ray-Ban Wayfarer frame measures approximately 5.5" temple to temple and a good size for both men and women, and the B&L G-15 lenses measure approximately 1.875" x 1.5" at the widest points and both laser etched BL near the hinge points. One ear stem has B&L Ray-Ban USA impressed in the frame while the other stem is marked Wayfarer, and the frame is also impressed B&L 5024 above the rear of the right lens. The Wayfarer style has been widely copied but never equaled, and "vintage style" Wayfarer sunglasses are essentially worthless in the market and do little or nothing to protect the eyes the way real Bausch & Lomb optical quality lenses do.

Item VS159-1 / Price: $245.00

2 Identical in appearance to #1 above, Bausch & Lomb began putting model numbers on the Wayfarer 5024 a few years after their introduction with an impressed L2053 OWAS on one ear pad and retaining the B&L Ray-Ban USA and Wayfarer impressed marks on the ear stems and B&L 5024 above the rear of the right lens. As above, both lenses are laser etched BL near the hinges.
