The temple tips are molded into a tinted faux tortoise. The glasses are marked “PAT NO 27105” on one arm, “Japan” and trademark on the other.    The sunglasses fold up compactly into a 2-piece pink swirled plastic case. The case has a felt piece on the inside for lens protection, a metal “push” button to open, and a metal clip for attachment. The case is marked “D  PAT. No. 132011 K.K.

    CONDITION
    These sunglasses are pre-owned vintage/antique item, over 60 years old, is from a 1960s production. They have been used, and show some signs of wear commensurate with age. The condition is very good, has no cracks to the frame, but some very small nicks and scratches.  The lens color is vibrant, glossy, but there is some very minor surface wear, in addition, the flip top portion has slight warping at the points. One of the nose pads is a little loose and needs to be tightened. The metal frame shows some signs of oxidation/wear, however, it has not been professionally cleaned and/or polished, we thought it best left to the new owner.
