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 sun-
  
  glasses 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 - is that Cheryl
  
  Tiegs?) had paler lenses. The original Sunvogues
  
  case is never used which we were lucky to
  
  acquire separately.
