Deadstock Peekini COOL-RAY Polaroid 112 Sunglasses + Original Swing Tag

Description

An untouched example of mid-century eyewear innovation, these vintage Peekini COOL-RAY® Polaroid 112 sunglasses remain in pristine deadstock condition, complete with the original factory swing tag still attached.

Crafted in the USA in the late 1950s to early 1960s, this model features a sculpted amber tortoise acetate frame by Peekini paired with the original COOL-RAY® Polaroid polarized lenses—a revolutionary optical technology of its time that filtered glare through true polarization rather than tinting.

The sleek oval/cat-eye hybrid silhouette captures the bold, atomic-age aesthetic of postwar American design, while the included Polaroid authenticity tag serves as both a functional glare test and a collectible artifact of eyewear history.
