Era & Relevance 

Authentic mid-century American eyewear from ArtCraft, one of American Optical’s premier divisions and a major supplier during the WWII and post-war era. Combination browline construction, gold-filled hardware, and fractional sizing firmly place this piece in the 1940s–1950s — a period now highly sought after by collectors.
