Description

These fabulous cat eyeglass frames are one of those things I bought years ago and never got around to using. These frames are new/old stock, which means they came from an opticians office which had original unused vintage stock. They DO NOT have lenses. They have never been worn or fitted with lenses, other than a brief stint when they accessorized The Naughty Nun and Crazy Cat Lady, on two consecutive Halloweens...don't ask.

The body of these eyeglass frames is clear with a silvery mink color accent over the brow and on the arm. They have a beautiful scroll design etched on the front, and down the temples, that looks like a stylized vine. The part of the arm that fits behind your ear has a soft coating-I suppose for comfort.

The hinge to hinge measurement on these frames is 5". The inside of the arm (temple) is stamped 5 1/4". This number tells you the length of the arm. I took this measurement following the bend of the temple.

Lens Height- 35mm
Lens Width- 47mm
Bridge size-20 mm
Temple Length-5 1/4"
Across Front- 5" (Hinge to Hinge)

The frames are in very good vintage condition. They are very slightly warped and may need a little adjustment. Your optician should be able to take care of this when you have the frames fitted for your lenses. Also, the clear part of the frame appears a little yellow. I'm not sure if that was the original color or if this is from age. This is the color they were when I purchased them and I don't think you'll find it unappealing. The light color of these frames looks amazing on blondes-but that's just my humble opinion. I'll let you decide!
