I also have other items for sale, such as Ray-Ban and other brand-name and vintage eyeglasses, so please take a look if you're interested. *Note: The category is listed as Kaneko Optical. This is a rare vintage round, cell-wrapped, engraved unknown eyeglass frame from around the 1940s. It features a round frame with cell wrapping in a reddish-brown color, with engraved detailing on the bridge and part of the temples. This is a craftsman-made piece, typical of the era, with no brand name or model number markings. Cell wrapping requires advanced techniques and is rarely done today. It was considered a high-end item back then, and the reddish-brown cell was a premium choice, often used for formal occasions. It was suitable for men's formal wear, skilled trades, and military personnel. The lenses are blue, non-prescription plastic lenses. In Europe and Japan in the 1930s-40s, "blue lenses" were used not as practical sunglasses, but for medical purposes or to prevent eye strain. Glass lenses were the norm at the time, but during and after the war, some craftsmen switched to plastic lenses due to restrictions on glass supply and for weight reduction. Looking back at the history of eyeglasses, those from 100 years ago tend to have smaller frame widths than modern ones. Those familiar with vintage items will be used to this, but it's recommended for those who want to incorporate smaller eyeglasses into their style or who want to emulate the literary figures of the Meiji and Taisho eras. Size: Front width approx. 120mm (including hinges) Temples approx. 133mm, Vertical width approx. 48mm (Please allow for some error as this is amateur measurement) The condition is good for an item from around 80 years ago, but there is some deterioration in the nose pads and temples. I have not attempted to repair them, considering them part of the antique character. I recommend purchasing only if you appreciate this as part of its character. Also, there is some distortion in the bridge, with the right and left sides being uneven. I personally wore them without concern, but if you are looking for perfection, please have them adjusted or refrain from purchasing. It would also be nice to display it as an antique, preserving its historical value. This is an old vintage USED item from over 80 years ago, so please understand the vintage nature of the item, including scratches and age-related deterioration. Please review the profile and consider purchasing. #20s #30s #40s #50s #60s #70s #80s #90s
