other info

• Crayonne was the company's name and also
  
  the name of the plastic they created which
  
  this pair is made from - one of dozens of
  
  polymers that were being developed at the
  
  time and being used for sunglasses. Crayonne
  
  were from Bexley in Kent (England) and were
  
  big in the 1970s but until we found this pair
  
  we were unaware that they were around
  
  before the war. The best bit are the lenses
  
  in that unique shade of petrol blue. NB: lenses
  
  marked down only due to tiny chip at edge of
  
  rims - see bottom photo.
