<p>[QUOTE="TaraUnnie, post: 83353, member: 906"]I would say that these glasses (particularly the RayBans) are vintage from around the mid 50s to sixties. The style is reminiscent of then but there was a catseye revival in the late 70s early 80s with these types of glasses so it isn't a solid indicator of age. However looking at the material and logo we can assume. That opaque matte plastic was well used for sunglasses and jewellery around that time until in the late 60s the shinier style glass became more popular and produced. Also, The Ray Ban Bausch and Lomb company did not start putting their logo more frequently on the right arm of their sunglasses until the 70s and it was engraved on the inside of the left arm like is sern on your sunglasses. I am not certsin about the other two but I would assume from the same era..they are very nice[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
