Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance
A bold example of vintage American eyewear, pairing a crisp white finish with a sculptural bridge and expansive aviator lenses. The silver-tone upper bar adds a subtle industrial detail, while the gray gradients complement the frame’s striking silhouette.

The design suggests the 1970s to early 1980s; the exact production year and model name remain unverified.

Authentication
The photographed temple bears the SRO name, 140 temple measurement and U.S.A. marking. Brand identification is supported by these markings and the frame’s sourcing provenance.

What’s Included

Notes
Vintage frames may exhibit small variations in finish and signs of age. Replacement lenses mean this pair is not all original. All photographs show the actual eyewear offered.

Our Promise
Thoughtfully selected vintage eyewear, described with care and transparency—preserving the character that makes each frame worth a second chance.
