If
you like the look of smaller size sunglasses that can be worn by
men or women, it's hard to do better than the vintage Revo 1105
008 Italian design that combines an antique gold frame with Revo's
amber and purple lens surrounded by a thin band of tortoise shell.
These sunglasses pick up plenty of hues of purple in the sunlight,
effectively changing color from amber in low light conditions to
a reflective purple mirror in direct sunlight. Each spring loaded
hinge point at the corner of the temples has an etched design in
the metal for added design flair, and the Revo logo is raised in
the metal of both ear stems near the hinge points. The ear pads
are also tortoise, complementing the tortoise band around the lenses
and effectively completing the design. The frame measures approximately
4.75" temple to temple, and each lens measures approximately
1.5" x 1.5" at the widest points. You'll love the combination
of tortoise, brushed antique gold, and the purple hues of the Revo
lens that combine to make this one of Revo's most distinctive designs.
The inside of the ear stem is marked 1105/008 Frame Italy, and these
1105 sunglasses also retain the original marked Revo celluloid nose
pads. It's a great design, one of a pair of Revo 1105 sunglasses
exclusive to Collectics from a San Diego, CA collector of vintage
Revo, Ray-Ban, and Giorgio Armani sunglasses. Try

Rare
Ray-Ban glacier glasses, Arctic Cat CATS sunglasses by Bausch &
Lomb are fully mirrored and include the leather nose bridge cover
and the two side blinders that swing on a hinge in and out to protect
the eyes from wind, rain, and sun from the sides yet fold inward
for easy storage. Ray-Ban CATS are very popular in the vintage market
regardless, but you will seldom see vintage Arctic Cat glacier glasses.
They come in the original Ray-Ban CATS case and have the connected
strap to go around your neck. These sunglasses have serious mountain
climbing and skiing optics and design, and the leather blinders
do a great job of keeping the wind out - and look much cooler than
goggles! The ear pads are the curved, flexible shooter outdoorsman
style that helps the glasses stay on in fast moving, active conditions.
The leather nose bridge cover snaps around the frame and keeps the
frame from sticking to the skin in extreme cold conditions. However,
the leather blinders can be removed as can the snap on nose bridge
cover, so when these are off you have a regular pair of B&L
CATS to wear in warm weather conditions. The B&L G-31 full mirrored
lens is superb, reflecting everything and protecting the eyes with
complete UV protection even in the most extreme conditions. The
teardrop shaped lens measures approximately 2.25" x 1.875"
at the widest point, and the frame measures 5.5" temple to
temple. Both lens have the small inscribed BL logo near the hinges
while the right lens has Ray-Ban mark inscribed in the glass. The
outside of one ear stem is marked Ray-Ban while the other is marked
Cats. The inside of one stem bar is marked Bausch & Lomb and
Frame France while the inside of the other stem is marked Frame
France. Vintage Ray-Ban CATS glacier glasses will bring out the
arctic cat in you, sunglasses that look great in rain or shine,
wind or hail, snow or bright sunlight. Try

Vintage
1950s French cat's eye sunglasses are a blue base color coupled
with Art Deco inspired starbursts at each front corner that features
gold highlights and two studs on each side for a little added design
flair. Blue is highly desirable yet strangely hard to find in vintage
sunglasses, so we were all pleased to discover this 50s vintage
French style as part of a major estate consignment exclusive to
Collectics from Austin, Texas. These cat eye sunglasses are not
as extreme in shape as some, and we think they look great with either
formal or informal wear. These vintage women's sunglasses feature
lens that measure 2.0" x 1.125" at the widest points,
and they measure 5.75" temple to temple when the elongated
Art Deco styled temples are included. They are marked on the interior
of the ear stem Made in France. Our vintage cat's eye sunglasses
from the 50's and 60's never last long on the site, and then we
get tons of emails inquiring whether another pair is available after
they're marked sold. These are priced to sell quickly so don't wait! Try

Revo 1415 036 sunglasses feature an antique bronze metal frame,
Made in Italy, with the Revo logo on each ear stem near the hinges
and the rare Revo purple / violet lens. The overall style is very
retro, with thicker than normal oval frames giving the vintage sunglasses
a very mod look. This is especially true when combined with the
effect of the purple Revo lens that contrasts so perfectly with
the light antique bronze color of the frame. The brushed metal frame
looks great with ear stems that have the Revo logo raised in the
metal at the hinge points and tortoise shell ear pads - another
nice design contrast. The interior of one ear stem is marked CE
1415/036 Frame Italy along with the distinctive marked Revo nose
pads and hinges. As with most vintage Revo sunglass styles, these
are really striking and suitable as men's or women's sunglasses. Try

Exceptionally
rare and in mint condition are these authentic Bausch & Lomb
B&L Ful Vue safety glasses c 1949 in the original box! Combining
extra strong B&L green safety glass lens with a very sturdy
metal frame, we can pretty much assure you that no goggles or safety
glasses are made to this kind of quality today. Perfect for use
as motorcycle goggles (and a lot cooler than the steampunk look),
aviator sunglasses, ski sunglasses, or their intended use as safety
glasses, anyone who wears these is sure to attract inevitable questions
and comments. We love the side blinders that keep wind and sunlight
out while protecting the eye from the side, and they swing on a
hinge for closing the glasses and conforming to the face. It is
quite unique how these glasses fold, for the front hinge rotates
a full 180 degrees so they are hinged back for wearing and hinged
forward for closing the glasses. If it were otherwise, they would
not close with the side blinders in the way. Very unique. Each ear
stem is a strong, coated wire curved in the back with the shooter
design to fit securely around the ear, and each 1.875" diameter
green B&L lens is marked at the top with the etched B&L
logo in the glass lens. They measure approximately 5.25" temple
to temple, and everything about them is in mint new condition. There
were found as part of an estate in the warehouse of an Ohio contractor,
covered in dust in the back of an old cabinet and clearly forgotten
for 60 years. Aside from the B+L logo etched into the green safety
glass lens, the glasses are also marked on the nose bridge B&L
Ful-Vue 23 impressed in the metal. The original B&L Ful-Vue
cardboard box reads "Protect the only pair of eyes you'll ever
have" along with Bausch & Lomb Safety Glasses on the front,
and Made in USA on the back. On the side of the box is the catalogue
number, screen type, size, and lens, and the date of 6/49 is stamped
on the side. Rare and one of a kind; includes glasses and original
box. Try

Ray-Ban Wayfarer 5022 sunglasses with green B&L lens are extremely
rare, probably more desirable today in the age of light color, larger
men's and women's sunglasses than they were when first produced
c 1960s. You can still find a fair number of black and tortoise
vintage Wayfarer sunglasses, but it's difficult to find the white,
low production 5022 Ray-Ban Wayfarers. Note that Wayfarer 5022 sunglasses
were the original design, and very different from modern white Ray-Ban
Wayfarers now made by Luxottica versus Bausch & Lomb. Ray-Ban
Wayfarer sunglasses were first manufactured by B&L in 1952,
when their design was a revolutionary break from the metal eyewear
of the past. Wayfarers enjoyed early popularity in the 1950s and
1960s, especially after they were worn by Audrey Hepburn in the
1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. Though the sunglasses had faded
from the limelight by the 1970s, a lucrative 1982 product placement
deal in the Blues Brothers movie with John Belushi brought Ray-Ban
Wayfarer sunglasses to their height of popularity. Wayfarers are
usually cited as the best selling sunglass design in history and
have been called a "classic of modern design" as "one
of the most enduring fashion icons of the 20th century." Marilyn
Monroe made Wayfarers a cult object, and Audrey Hepburn's wearing
of tortoise shell Wayfarers sunglasses in the 1961 movie Breakfast
at Tiffany's transformed the Wayfarer into a legend. During the
1950s and 1960s, celebrities including John Lennon, Bob Dylan, James
Dean, John F. Kennedy, Roy Orbison, and Andy Warhol were all known
for wearing Wayfarers. Each B&L Ray-Ban lens measures approximately
2.0" x 1.75" at the widest points, and each is marked
with the small B+L logo etched in the glass lens. These rare white
Wayfarers are also marked B&L 5022 impressed in the frame above
the right lens, and one ear stem is marked Wayfarer while the other
stem is marked B&L Ray-Ban U.S.A. Try

vintage Oliver Peoples OP 60 tortoise shell and etched metal unisex
men's or women's sunglasses have a classic look but unmistakable
Oliver Peoples design and high quality in the lens and the frame
materials. The balance of the design is perfect, with lens not totally
round but perfectly shaped for both good looks and to UV protect
the entire field of normal vision. The nose bar is etched metal
in an antique bronze finish as are the ear stems right down to the
end ear pads which then revert to tortoise. Interestingly, this
is a style that almost looks better from behind than the front,
as we particularly liked the metal nose bridge and studs that give
the model an almost industrial look from behind. Elegant enough
to wear to the most formal of occasions yet still looking great
with jeans, these vintage Oliver Peoples LA sunglasses are marked
on one ear stem OP-60 DTB AG and a Japanese mark and the other ear
stem is marked Oliver Peoples LA along with the Oliver Peoples logo.
The brown lens are the right complement to the tortoise shell, measuring
approximately 1.75" x 1.75" at the widest points and a
frame measuring approximately 5.25" temple to temple. Try

The
classic! Vintage Ray-Ban 58 [] 14 aviator sunglasses with fine gold
plated metal frame, teardrop aviator lens design, and B&L B-15
high contrast and UV protected brown lens are a must have in your
sunglasses collection and a great gift for any pilot or outdoorsman
in your life. This B&L lens was designed to screen out blue
light to improve contrast, sharpen details, and absorb 85% of visible
light with 100% UV protection. Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses became
instantly famous when General Douglas MacArthur landed on the beach
in the Philippines in World War II, and photographers snapped pictures
of him wearing B&L Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses. The classic Ray-Ban
aviators are some of the best marked sunglasses on the market despite
the limited space for such marks on the frame. These vintage Ray-Bans
are marked on the top of the upper nose bar B&L Ray-Ban USA
impressed in the gold plated metal frame and marked B&L Ray-Ban
58 [] 14 impressed in the metal beneath the bottom nose bar. The
right teardrop amber B&L lens is marked Ray-Ban, and both lens

Rare vintage Revo 962 010 sunglasses feature an antique bronze
frame, black ear stems for a striking contrast, and the very desirable
Revo brown and purple tint lens. The 962 is one of the most popular
styles Revo ever made, and we seldom see the purple lens, black
ear bar, and antique bronze frame combination as in these 010
models. When light conditions are low, these lens can appear brown
from the front similar to how they look from behind, but you will
be amazed at how they change to purple when seen from the front
in conditions of more direct and substantial sunlight. The overall
effect is pretty dramatic, with the antique bronze frame wrapping
the purple lens and combining with the jet black ear stems to
complete the design. The oval Revo lens are moderately reflective
and measure approximately 1.875" x 1.5" at the widest
point, and the frame measures 5.25" temple to temple. One
ear stem is marked CE 962/010 Frame Japan, and they are all original
right down to the marked Revo nose pads. Each of the black ear
bars are also marked with the Revo logo at the hinge points, completing
a superb vintage Revo 962 design that you'll find suitable for
casual and formal occasions but always exuding quality and style.

2. Sometimes we
receive from an estate collection a great pair of rare vintage
sunglasses that just don't quite live up to our condition standards
but are too good to pass up. Of course, we are also able to pass
substantial cost savings on to you. These vintage Revo 962 010
sunglasses are 100% authentic and identical to the ones above
and shown in the photos, but they have a few very light lens scratches
less than 0.1" that kept them from a main listing on the
site. We could see them when looking closely and angled under
a light source, but they were not visible when worn out in the
sunlight which of course is the primary reason you buy great sunglasses.
The few light scuffs disqualified them from a primary listing
on the site, but we're pleased to offer them to you here at a
heavily discounted price as part of our Second Chance Program.

Carrera Porsche Design sunglasses offered here are the striking
titanium silver aviator Model 5621 71 complete with rare rose color
as well as brown, partially gradient Porsche Design lens and the
original hard sided Carrera Porsche Design case. This classic sunglass
design uses the center hinge between the two teardrop lens to replace
the lens, raising up to allow the lens to be removed, the alternative
lens to be inserted into small prongs on the frame, and then clamping
down the center hinge to secure the lens. This design provides a
lot of flexibility to the owner with two complete sets of lens,
and the only drawback is that the clamp could sometimes leave de
minimus marks on the edge of the lens- which really doesn't matter
since you never see them when on the frame. These vintage Carrera
Porsche Design 5621 sunglasses feature a titanium silver frame that
provides a perfect contrast when combined with either the rose or
brown lens. The replacement lens are stored in a velvet pouch which
is part of the original case, perfectly sized for their storage.
The lens are all marked Porsche Design and measure approximately
2.5" x 2.25" at the widest points, and the frame measures
5.5" temple to temple. Fully and properly marked, one ear bar
is marked Porsche Design by Carrera while the other is marked Made

So
you want your vintage B&L Ray-Bans but you want a very special version
too. Well, perhaps these will fit the bill as we offer these vintage
B&L Ray-Ban 58 14 outdoorsman gold aviator shooter sunglasses
featuring the curved wire shooter ear stems and world famous B&L
Ray-Ban Ambermatic lens. It's the classic B&L Ray-Ban aviator equipped
with one of the very best sunglass lens ever made in the Bausch
& Lomb Ambermatic lens. If you've ever worn a pair of Ambermatics,
you'll know why they're like candy for the eyes. Ambermatic lenses
self-adjust to just about any lighting situation you may encounter,
getting darker in colder temperatures to make them ideal lenses
for the ski slopes or high mountain trails. And since these Ambermatics
have comfortable paddle temples, it also makes these vintage Ray-Ban
sunglasses perfect for long summer drives. B & L Ambermatic
lenses provide 100% UV protection regardless of the lighting situation.
The 58mm lenses on these shooter style aviator sunglasses measure
approximately 2.25" x 1.875" at the widest points and
have the B&L logo etched in the glass lens. Because they do not
have the Ray-Ban script logo on the lens, it means they were most
likely made in the early 1980's before the Ray-Ban script logo had
been introduced to the lens surface. That makes these vintage Ray-Ban
sunglasses some of the first Ambermatics made, and new Ambermatics
haven't been made since the late 1990's when Ray-Ban was sold to
the European consortium Luxottica. Other sunglasses makers have
tried to imitate the Ambermatic lens but have ultimately fallen
well short of the goal. These vintage Ray-Ban outdoorsman Ambermatic
sunglasses measure approximately 5.25" temple to temple and
are fully and properly marked with B&L Ray-Ban USA impressed
in the metal on top of the nose bridge under the celluloid covered
back bracing bar and marked B&L 58 [] 14 Ray-Ban USA impressed
in the metal beneath the nose bridge. Try

Very
vintage Giorgio Armani 901 tortoise shell sunglasses feature the
very hard to find yellow tortoise shell frame, and the Armani design
is particularly interesting in that the tortoise effect is limited
to the top front and side ear stems of the frame, but the sides
and bottoms of the nicely rounded dark green Armani lens are clear
yellow. The shape of these vintage Armani sunglasses is quite classic,
and they look great as sunglasses for a man or a woman. The lens
measure approximately 1.75" in diameter at the widest points,
and the frame measures 5.375" temple to temple. These vintage
Armani sunglasses look really good with suits and more formal wear,
but the style is equally at home with jeans. The outside of the
2 tortoise shell ear stems are marked Giorgio Armani at the hinge
points, and the inside of both ear stems has Giorgio Armani impressed
in the frame along with the remnants of Made in Italy on one side
and 901 097 145 on the other side. Both of the green Armani lens
are marked with the GA logo inscribed in the glass near the hinge
points. Vintage Armani sunglasses are a super fashion accessory,

formal. Try

Revo
1202 034 vintage sunglasses feature some of the most intricate,
extensive etching in the metal frame you will ever see on Revo sunglasses
or for that matter any other designer. The antique copper metal
frame is etched on the top, bottom, and sides - around the entire
perimeter of the green Revo lens, across the nose bridge, and down
each of the two ear stems. We particularly like the way the Revo
logo is impressed in the frame on each ear stem at the hinges, nicely
integrated with the intricate etched pattern that continues down
the ear stems to the ear pads. The copper and green color combination
of the Revo 1202 style is very strong, and Revo took care to ensure
that nothing in the design took too much attention away from the
intricate etching on the metal frame. The Revo lens measure approximately
1.75" x 1.75" at the widest points although they are not
perfectly round, and the unisex frame measures 5.25" temple
to temple. The inside of the ear stem is marked CE 1202/034 and

sunglasses, part of a Malibu, California estate consignment exclusive

Super
cool 1950s French Lalu rhinestone sunglasses are quite unique in
that they have beige as the primary color of the exterior frame
coupled with an interior lining color that is more off white to
provide a very interesting color contrast. Aside from the high quality
of French sunglasses produced in the middle of the 20th century,
what really stands out in these sunglasses are the rhinestones and
etching that decorates both temples and ear stems of the sunglasses.
One of the rhinestones is particularly large and faceted, and they
really catch and reflect the light on each corner. It's really a
great look, and we really like the way the frame has a subtle wrap
around the temples that adds a last little bit of design flair.
The frame measures approximately 5.0" temple to temple while the
lens measure approximately 1.875" x 1.125" at the widest points,

For
a pseudo preppy look with a lot more flair and style, check out
these vintage Revo 1401 008 sunglasses that use thin tortoise shell
to frame the round Revo lens set in a brushed and etched gold metal
frame. Put it all together and you've got an impressive fashion
look right down to the tortoise shell ear pads that tie back to
the thin tortoise used on the front of the frame holding the lens.
All in all, the colors go perfectly together to create a style that
won't leap out at you like Oakleys but one that people in the know
will recognize as eclectic and expensive. Both ear stems are etched
all the way down to the ear pads, starting with the raised Revo
logo at the spring loaded hinge points. This early Revo 1401 style,

Aficionados
of Cazal sunglasses know that they embody eye catching style without
resorting to the excessive use of brand names and logos plastered
all over the sunglasses and ruining their look- unless you like
being a walking billboard for the designer. Made in Germany, these
are Cazal model 734 sunglasses are an interesting Cazal interpretation
of the classic aviator style of sunglasses. The lens are uniquely
and irregularly shaped to make for a great look, an almost abstract
take on aviators introduced by B&L Ray-Ban in the 1930s. The use
of gold as a highlight color, the uniquely shaped hinges, and the
subtle yet effective Cazal logo on the exterior of both ear stems
all caught our eye. Cazal founder Cari Zalloni is a designer of
outstanding reputation who created Cazal sunglasses (a name derived
by combining the first syllables of his first and last names) which
are known for an aggressive styling, unique detailing, and quality
craftsmanship. The founder was quotes as saying that "a designer
eyewear line that pleases everyone is unlikely to inspire. Good
design must be thought-provoking." Alas, we digress. The frame measures
approximately 5.5" temple to temple while the lens measure approximately
2.0" x 1.5" at the widest points. The interior of one ear stem is
marked Mod 734 59 [] 13 Col 350 140 and the other is marked Frame
Germany Cazal. These vintage Cazal sunglasses are priced to sell

Our staff all loves the ear stems, wider than normal with an enlarged
raised metal Revo logo in brown set against brushed metal at the
hinges which match the brushed silver front frame. Beyond the brushed
metal and logo, the ear stems change to brown to match the lens
and have a nice exaggerated arch to them that we liked. The lens
measure approximately 2.25" x 1.875" at the widest points,
and the frame measures 5.25" temple to temple which is a nice
size for men's and women's sunglasses. One ear stem is marked 3072
096/J4 and 61 [] 15 125 3P, while the other stem is marked Revo
CE Polarized along with the remnants of Frame Italy. If you like
vintage aviator sunglasses but want to make a more unique look than
classic Ray-Ban aviators, we feel certain you will find the Revo
3072 style with Revo P H20 optics a great change of pace. Try

Vera Bradley 3503 S Java Blue polarized sunglasses are our consensus
favorite Vera Bradley design. We like the rectangular brown lens
that curve subtly upward at the nose coupled with the shimmering
abstract floral design on the two ear bars. The ear stems are thick
to match the height of the lens at the hinge point, providing a
nice wrap effect to help shield the sides of the eyes but without
the extreme designs of other makers. For 25 years Vera Bradley has
been designing handbags, accessories and travel items with unique
and original design patterns for women of all ages. Founded in 1982
by friends Barbara Bradley Baekgaard and Patricia Miller, Vera Bradley
has become synonymous with quality and attention to detail as you
can see in this interesting and striking style. These Vera Bradley
women's sunglasses marked on one ear stem Brown (BRN) Java Blue
and on the other ear bar Vera Bradley 3503 S Polarized CE. The lens
measure approximately 2.25" x 1.75" at the widest points
and the frame measures 5.5" temple to temple. Try
