The Windsor frame - a wire rim with a plastic (zylonite)
cover - was first developed by the
American Optical
company and sold throughout the 1920's and 30's, its
longevity due to the increasing popularity of plastic
frames. They came with a standard bridge with nose-
pads or more commonly with a cylinder bridge or in
this case a 'W' bridge - the shape of the bridge is a
letter W when viewed from above or below, which is
meant to sit on the nose without the use of pads. The
zylonite covers on this pair are black or very dark brown
and the frame looks to be
gold filled, but not marked.
One lens okay, the other a couple of scratches. Lenses
of course can be changed to Rx (prescription) or our
special range of
klasiksun mineral glass lenses.
