Persol Marte Sunglasses
Vintage Persol Marte sunglasses feature a low profile, angular design that's quite different than the majority of Persol sunglasses from this period, with a gleaming gold plated front frame and tortoise shell ear stems. The Persol Meflecto system system is incorporated into the design, which here consists of 2 tiny cylinders inserted by a craftsman process into the ear stems to render them flexible, thereby assuring maximum comfort and snugness of fit. Persol marketing literature from the period notes that the Meflecto system offers "excellent functionality and perfect fitting to the wearer's face" along with a "smart design and exceptional solidity of construction. The unisex Persol Marte frame measures approximately 5.675" temple to temple, and the green mineral glass lenses measure approximately 1.675" x 1.25" at the widest points. The inside of one stem is marked Persol Marte 56 [] 16 while the inside of the other stem is marked 147 DR Made in Italy, part of a fine collection of vintage Persol sunglasses in Malibu, California.
