other info

• Art-Craft have been going since 1918, still based
  
  in the state of New York. This pair is not too difficult
  
  to date as it was a popular shape for men and
  
  women just after the war. Here is an ad for Shuron
  
  sunglasses from 1947 and there is a sporty pair
  
  shown which is almost identical - the same rimless
  
  style. Rimway on our pair refers to the method of
  
  attaching the lenses to the top bar - behind the top
  
  of each lens is a rim into which each screw attaches.
  
  Ful-Vue refers to where the temples attach to the
  
  frame, raised to the top part of the lens. Here is a
  
  catalogue page from 1947 offering similar rimless
  
  styles. Ours has a beautifully engraved bridge and
  
  temples with pearly top bar and matching pads and
  
  temple tips. The lenses are excellent: 99% uv
  
  protective at 400nm. The size would indicate that
  
  it is for women. NB: frame marked down only due
  
  to some slight stress lines in bridge - see photo.
