There are always a lot of cool sunglasses found and posted in here, but I thought that these are quite interesting actually. I was telling @flipstah and @SpooPoker that I goofed and left them because they didn’t have any of the known markers I’ve experienced when researching Bausch & Lomb Ray Bans.

They are aviators in 12K gold filled frame with lenses that appear to be G15 lenses, but when I looked closer...there was no BL engraved anywhere on the glass lenses. Also, with vintage aviators...I was familiar with the brow bar on the top being engraved “B&L RAY BAN USA” and the underside of the brow bar usually had information about gold plating and size etc.

Long story short is that I got home and had a bunch to do before deciding to do a bit more research. I was shocked to realize they were a very early model of Ray Ban aviators and could range from 1937 (which is when Ray Bans were commercially started) and early 1950s. I am not an expert but I do quite a bit of research on vintage sunglasses and have never seen Ray Bans with these kind of nose pads or ear pieces. They are Bakelite and the top brow bar is only engraved RAY BAN. No B&L anywhere on the frame except very small on the back of the nose pieces. So at latest age, these are at least close to 70 years old and one of the very first production runs of aviators ever. Same pair worn by General MacArthur and probably just after the original WW2 models of B&L glasses.
