Vintage Gaspari 12K Gold Filled Browline Sunglasses | Deadstock | Second Chance Customs

Condition

Deadstock

A genuine vintage deadstock frame that remained unworn before receiving professionally installed custom sunglass lenses by Second Chance Customs. The frame retains its original finish with beautiful vintage patina consistent with age and long-term storage.

Frame Details

A rare vintage Gaspari browline frame handcrafted with 1/10 12K Gold Filled construction. The bridge is marked 20, the temples 54, and the inside temple is stamped V1012KGF GASPARI, confirming its premium gold-filled construction. Gold-filled optical frames of this era were built to last and are increasingly difficult to source in unworn condition.

Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance

This is everything collectors look for in mid-century American eyewear. Gaspari produced beautifully engineered gold-filled frames during the golden era of optical manufacturing, when durability and craftsmanship came before mass production. The elegant engraved brow details, true 12K gold-filled construction, and timeless silhouette embody the sophistication of 1950s and early 1960s design.

Finished with custom amber lenses, this deadstock survivor bridges vintage authenticity with modern everyday wear while preserving the integrity of the original frame. Genuine 12K gold-filled Gaspari frames in unworn condition have become increasingly scarce.
