Original deadstock 1950s sunglasses by Samco — "The Famous Sunglasses" — with a lightweight gold-tone metal frame and brown lenses. The wide cat-eye lens measures 63 mm. Lenses, temple tips, and nose pads are all made from plastic.
Measurements: • Frame width 13,6 cm / 5.25" • Lens width 6,3 cm / 2.5" • Lens height 3,8 cm / 1.5" • Bridge width 2 cm / 0.75" • Temple arm length 15 cm / 6"
This style was originally part of a budget-friendly range, so the frame and lenses are intentionally lightweight and flexible rather than solid and heavy.
The sunglasses are unworn but time has left signs of ageing on the metal parts. Still, it’s an incredibly cool and wearable accessory with authentic mid-century charm.
This is an old pair of sunglasses — the fit and feel will differ from modern eyewear. Please keep that in mind when purchasing. Please review all photos carefully before purchasing.
