Milo from NYC has absolutely exceeded the brief: check out that backdrop - what better for what is probably the
most famous sunglasses of all time, Ray-Ban's Wayfarer. First made in 1953, this pair probably made about 10
years later, marked B&L Ray-Ban USA and fitted with B&L's G15 (pre-etched) glass lenses.
