Description

We are offering a wonderful pair of AN6531 flying glasses, which the rest of us refer to as sunglasses. The glasses are made by American Optical and feature light green tinted lenses. The plastic nose pieces are properly AO marked. The lenses show no cracks or scratches. They look like the day they were made. The aluminum frames show some use and tarnishing, but there are no cracks or breaks. The glasses come with a WWII vintage hinged aluminum clam shell case. The case is lined with velvet which shows some verdigris and soiling, but nothing significant. The lid of the case is maker marked. The best part of the case is that the swiveling belt clip is still present and in good condition. These glasses are difficult to find in decent shape and the cases are probably ten times more challenging to acquire. These will display very nicely.
