• The Dash is one the earliest of the plastic
  
  framed Ray-Bans we find as we know from
  
  literature that it was launched in 1952 and
  
  in its honour, it was sold alongside a matching
  
  hat designed by famous French/US milliner,
  
  Lilly Daché - (better known perhaps for her
  
  fruity Carmen Miranda turbans). The Wayfarer
  
  was launched the following year which is
  
  probably why they both share the same
  
  lozenge shields. Here is an ad for them both
  
  in 1953. The colour of this pair is a sort of
  
  bronze. NB: there are some tiny stress lines
  
  at the bridge (bottom photo) which are stable
  
  and are not a problem. Due to age.
