other info

• We can date this pair to 1964 as it appears
  
  in a catalogue we have from that year -
  
  check it out. It describes the Temptress as a
  
  ....brilliantly bejewelled design in luscious summer
  
  colours." Okay, so we have it in the black.
  
  The lenses were also new for AO - this is their
  
  Tru-Tone which they say is a...."neutral grey wrap-
  
  around lens of lightweight plastic, optically
  
  perfect, fog-free, transmits colours in true
  
  values...". They are dark at 18% LTF and the
  
  uv protection is excellent, 97% at 400 nm.
  
  Temptress is a sleek cat-eye style with carved
  
  sides embedded with coloured rhinestones.
