Ray-Ban Fantasees General Bullet Hole Untragradient Sunglasses
Vintage Ray-Ban Fantasees bullet hole sunglasses feature Bausch & Lomb ultragradient lenses, one of the rarest of all vintage B&L lens technologies and a pretty amazing piece of science. The ultragradient lenses take photochromatic to a new level, adapting to varying light conditions by lightening and darkening but in a much quicker, more dramatic way than B&L Changeables photochromatic lenses from this same period. In addition to the B&L ultragradients, you also get the Arista General bullet hole frame, designed to improve the balance of the sunglasses on the face and ideal for hunters and shooters. This is an early and rare original example of the Fantasees line, before the lenses were so prominenty branded as such which in our opinion is completely inappropriate and a legacy of later years. You can tell real ultra-gradient lenses of course by how they perform in sunlight, but you'll also note the flash gold mirror finish applied to the upper portion of the rear of the mineral glass lenses. The unisex General bullet hole frame measures approximately 5.5" temple to temple, and the 62mm ultra-gradient lenses measure approximately 2.375" x 2.0" at the widest points with right lens laser etched Ray-Ban and both lenses laser etched BL near the hinges. The top of the nose bridge is impressed B&L Ray-Ban USA, part of the collection of rare vintage Ray-Bans owned by a well known sports figure and customer of the Vintage Sunglasses Shop. Includes original Bausch & Lomb Ray-Ban Fantasees case; very rare.
