RARE American Optical Polaroid Ivory Sand Womens Sportglas Sunglasses, appr 1946
I have included in the pictures, advertisements from the late 1940's
showing the Men's and Women's designs.
These are shortly after WW II. The Advertisements show the original price to be $1.69.
The men's glasses have been displayed in MOMA, Museum of Modern Art.
Unfortunately the left lens appears to have had a sticker that distorted the lens. I tried to show this in the blowup of the lens, but unfortunately the distortion couldn't be picked up by my camera.
I have no idea of the true value,, but undamaged I would guess $400-500.
In this condition I am asking for the buyer to determine it's worth and send an offer.
I am retired and buy at estate sales.
