    Just a 23. But they come in a metal case that says Wilson

    The 23 is the bridge size, looks like the lens is a P3 shape.I believe Wilson has been around since the 1930's,not sure when they were making the P3 shape.

    Does the case read "WILSON" or "WILLSON" ?

    A favorite with motorcyclists with the wrap around ear pieces.

    If soap and water doesn't take of the white chalky flakes on the side shields, you can try a mixture of water and white vinegar, followed by a rinse of plain water.

    Unfortunately, the green verdigris under the temple plastic is there for good.
