other info

• The date of this pair was confirmed for us
  
  by the patent number: a quick search reveals
  
  that in 1938 an American sunglasses designer,
  
  Rose Ehrlich, patented this design and named
  
  it Sunshield. Check it out. Her drawings differ
  
  slightly, our pair no doubt being another model
  
  within the same range using the same basic
  
  design. Unusual use of different colours makes
  
  for a wild pre-war party. Rose rocks!
