Vintage American Optical Glacier Glasses
1 Vintage American Optical glacier glasses or steampunk goggles as you prefer will be sure to get you noticed whether riding your motorcycle or skiing at the top of your favorite mountain. This very distinctive style of steampunk goggles is an icon of 20th century eyewear design, with durable nickel plated frame and ear stems that hold round green mineral glass lenses and brown leather side blinkers and matching nose guard. The leather is designed to maintain comfort against the face and protect against wind and glare, and the blinkers fold inward to permit easy storage. The unisex frame measures approximately 5.5" temple to temple, and the lenses measure approximately 1.875" in diameter with both lenses laser etched either B4H or with AO4H depending on whether Bausch & Lomb or AO made the lenses - the 2 companies collaborated and shared production during the years leading up to and during World War II. It's a rare and extremely popular look which didn't survive in large numbers much less that meet our high condition standards, so it's a special treat for our customers during the times when we have a pair in stock.
