other info

• We can date this pair to May, 1969 as this
  
  was the month that this ad appeared in
  
  Harpers Bazaar. It described AO's new
  
  range, Sunvogues as, "...the serious sunglasses
  
  ...many sunglasses are only dark glasses
  
  that filter out light, Sunvogues filter out
  
  harmful infrared and ultraviolet rays...". They
  
  felt they had to impress this as Cue (shown
  
  at bottom of ad) had paler lenses. The original
  
  Sunvogues case is never used which
  
  we were lucky to acquire separately.
