@benn25 what i found about fantasees is:
1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s
one of the rarest of all vintage Bausch & Lomb lenses - the ultra-gradient mineral glass lens.
they exactly stopped producing because the cost were too high.
they can come in amazing colors for that era even sometimes two tone colored like blue/grey. (not mine )
BL etching is sometimes laying.
some come with FANTASEES on the left! lens. never together with Ray-Ban on the left. they normally come in a special case specially for the fantasees line. Google and you'll find all about them on this known vintage sunglasses re seller side. i can paste the url but since i see almost no one doing this im not sure if its appropriated, same for copy and pasting their text...?!
i own a pair of odm from early 80's with Ray-Ban logo. i know and would buy a bullet hole shooter in new condition for a fair price. if its still for sale.
ebay prices are like 300 - 500 $ but mostly buy it now. or make an offer. ive done that twice now and made good deals ;-)
my odm fantasees are not beauties. it was my first pair of ray bans i bought. how much did i know. i thought it was dream come true to even find one for sale for less then 125 pound. its in fair used condition i would say. the lenses and frame are actually quite good, the temples lost their color a bit near the hings.
bought them from the first owner, an old doctor
a nice find would be a white gold fantasees ;-)
