  • The Windsor frame - a wire rim with a plastic (zylonite)

    cover - was first developed by the American Optical

    company and sold throughout the 1920's and 30's, its

    longevity due to the increasing popularity of plastic

    frames. They came with a standard bridge with nose-

    pads or more commonly with a cylinder bridge or in

    this case a 'W' bridge - the shape of the bridge is a

    letter W when viewed from above or below, which is

    meant to sit on the nose without the use of pads. The

    zylonite covers on this pair are black or very dark brown

    and the frame looks to be gold filled, but not marked.

    One lens okay, the other a couple of scratches. Lenses

    of course can be changed to Rx (prescription) or our

    special range of klasiksun mineral glass lenses.
