Antique Sunglasses and Eyewear c 1880s - 1930s

The Vintage Sunglasses Shop is the world's largest retailer of rare and authentic antique sunglasses and eyewear from the 1880s, 1990s, 1900s, 1910s,1920s, and 1930s, finding rare examples from this period to serve the needs of movie and TV productions, eyewear collectors, and fashion aficionados around the world since our founding in 1998. Please note - while all of our selections are meticulously vetted for both authenticity and excellent condition, we intentionally take no action to clean, polish, or touch up this antique eyewear because the majority of our antique eyewear customers want all original condition - tarnish, nicks, and all. If you decide to clean and polish them, we recommend carefully using simichrome paste which can be purchased at select hardware stores and at amazon.com. Here are our latest selections:
