Genuine Vintage Half Eye Frames
'Algha Works' 12kt Gold Filled Eye Wear in Rhodium Silver finish
LIMITED STOCK!
New and unworn, hand made in London at Algha Works over 25 years ago, these gold filled frames are a real piece of history. Note that gold filled has a higher gold content than rolled gold.
Originally set up in London in 1932, this factory has supplied stars such as John Lennon and Eric Clapton with their famous glasses.
It spent much of the 1940s and 1950s making the famous 'round eye' NHS glasses. Hand made in the same factory using virtually the same production process.
These are genuine vintage Algha Works frames at least 25 years old. These frames 'hockey end' temples with clear acrylic ear pieces. They are Half Eye (sometimes called half moon) classic reading frames.
The rhodium silver coating gives a shiny silver effect, and is very tough - making the frames even more hardwearing.
