Yeah, personally I think those would look great with black lenses.

But then you'd look like a blind man.

LOL, you'd be surprised how many times I've been assosciated with being blind, while wearing my glasses.

Specifically these; they have particularly dark lenses.

Nice lookin' rims, Jerekson!!

 

[Jerekson]

Thanks alot! Those are the custom ones that I was talking about earlier.

While we're on the subject

While we're on the subject, here's a close up of the pair I'm wearing in the post above. They probably date from the 40's. All I know is they've been in the family as long as I can remember. Because of this thread I pulled them out and started wearing them, and have actually been enjoying it! They're a little warped. I'm hoping an optometrist can drop them in the hot sand for a while and bend them into a better shape. There's no writing on the inside of the bow, no identification whatsoever.

Wow, a celluloid frame on a pair of Aviators?

Very unique, and very cool!

 

[dhermann1]

I could sell you Lloyd, but would you buy him?
Ba dump bump.

 

[Dinerman]

Celluloid puns? Really?:eusa_doh:

I hope you get yours fixed up, they're neat looking.

Got these, any idea of age? Everyone agrees they are old, but no dates for these.
Thanks

Late eighties, early nineties.

Look great.

Okay, where do you guys find heavy tints? I'm starting to look for a new pair--my current tinted clip-ons are barely doin' the job.

I've seen these sold as WAAC Sunglasses many times.

Then they must have been my mother's when she was in the Marines. Does that make me a macho girlyman if I wear them?

 

[Jerekson]

They looked fine in the picture you posted earlier.

I got these a few weeks back from a local thrift shop.
Thinking of putting my prescription and transition lenses in 'em.

Bingo! Those will make perfect cheaters! Please show them off when the surgery is complete.

How about vintage clip-on shades?

That would probably be it then, GirlyMan.

Bought these at a street/flea-market some three weeks ago...seller said he'd bought them NOS from Sweden:

I'd think around 1950?
