other info

• Holiday was Art-Craft's range of sunglasses
  
  which were extremely high quality - competing
  
  with B&L and AO, the top manufacturers at
  
  the time. The link above shows the cover of
  
  one of their catalogues the year before this
  
  pair was made, where they describe their
  
  Melo-Ray tempered lenses as, "...impact resistant,
  
  distortion free...a neutral gray lens with excellent
  
  infrared and ultraviolet absorption....visible light
  
  transmission is approximately 19%...". This pair
  
  in a mid-60's cateye shape and comes to you
  
  never having been worn, however the condition
  
  of the frame has been marked down due to the
  
  plastic on the inside of the arms showing signs
  
  of age, but doesn't look too serious.
