Hi all... I have recently searched the internet far, wide and deep -- have tried to turn every virtual stone -- but have not managed to find *anyone* or any place offering the sunglasses seen in the following photo from the mid 1970's (also represented in the semi-sketch above it, which I've made to the best of my ability), which are very similar to (while smaller in height than) Gucci's new full rim, squared GG0200S aviator model.
Those Gucci's are very cool, but I like the one I am showing here even more; the main differences are: 1) the parts of the frame bordering the lenses right above the nose form 90 degree corners with the part of the frame above them, instead of rounding off, and 2) the entire frame is dark (brown or black) rather than the gold colored top in said Gucci's model.
I recommend opening the enclosed image with some app like Painter, IrfanView, PictureViewer, etc. to an appropriate size for optimal viewing, if necessary, especially since the photo is fairly low quality.
I am not even sure if these glasses were purchased in the US. But if they were, it was most likely in NYC.
If somebody out there knows an individual or store who sells them somewhere ... please point me to them. Note that I am NOT prepared to settle for anything similar to what I am after (some of Cazal's models come to mind), so kindly refrain from raising any such suggestions.
Have a great day and thanks a million for your trouble
