I have several other pairs of glasses for sale, so please take a look if you're interested. This is a rare, double-name, one-bridge eyeglasses frame from the 1960s, made in France by Essel Hoya. Essel was an established optical manufacturer founded in Paris, France in 1849. They developed "Nylor" and "Varilux," the world's first progressive addition lens. In the 1960s, they formed a technical partnership with HOYA, and in 1972, Essel merged with Silor, which owned the Amor brand, and changed its company name to Essilor. The French-made ESSEL and HOYA frames are very rare. This frame features a glamorous gold one-bridge design, reminiscent of the Amor style that was trending in Europe in the 1960s. The ear hooks have a near-right-angle design typical of older frames. Those familiar with eyeglasses will immediately recognize the quality, rarity, and value of this vintage piece.
