As shown in the close-up photos, there is a slight natural gap (crevice) between the edge of the lens and the frame. This is a typical phenomenon for plastic eyewear from this era, due to the material’s natural loss of hydration over the decades, which a vintage optics specialist may note. Case: The structure and tags are intact; the exterior leather shows visible patina and superficial flaking due to age. A piece of great charm and historical value, perfect to complete a high-end collection.
