Antique Sunglasses and Eyeglasses: Authentic Eyewear c 1850s - 1920s

Our antique sunglasses and eyeglasses are all rare and date to the years of the 1930s and earlier and include rare eyeglasses and sharpshooter glasses from the Civil War period. Most date to the 19th century although precise dating periods are difficult since much the same style of eyewear was produced during these years. All antique eyeglasses and sunglasses sold at the Vintage Sunglasses Shop can be worn and are in excellent condition although we intentionally do not attempt any cleaning since most collectors and movie & TV productions to whom we sell prefer complete original condition. The lenses are all in excellent condition, and if you so desire the best way to clean age tarnish from the frame is with a paste called simichrome. Most come in their original period case and all are quite rare.
