Vintage Cazal Eye Glasses Model 956 with Blue and White Enamel Frames by TheClassicButterfly

Wed, 30 May 2012 12:41:52 -0400

$85.00 USD

If designer eyeglasses are what you crave
these will satisfy your yen.
These vintage beauties look like 1980s
to me with the angular frames.
Currently set with blue prescription lenses,
they would be a great set of regular sunglasses.

The model number is very faint: 956
They are marked Made in West Germany.

There are some condition problems
if you inspect carefully,
which is why you get the low, low price.
The Cazal label is missing from one side.
There is wear to the enamel on one arm.
The surface of some of the gold parts is peeling.

On the other hand, they are quite sturdy
and are a rare and desirable model.

The screws to release and replace the lenses are
obvious and accessible.

Measurements
arm from the curve of the ear to the front bracket: 4.25 inches
from hinge to hinge: 6 inches
lens from top to bottom (eyebrow to cheekbone) 1 7/8th inches
Lens width at widest point -2.5 inches
