Vintage American Optical Ful-Vue "Liner" frames. This classic frame was made from the 1940s on into the 1970s when the fashion for huge gaudy plastic eyewear swept everything else from the marketplace.

This frame is of exceptional quality, having been designed by American Optical with the benefit of decades of experience with metal frames. AO developed this frame at a time when plastic-framed glasses were first coming into vogue and knew that in order for the all-metal Liner to succeed, it had to be good.

Never a glamorous frame, the AO Liner wasn't cheap either. It stands with certain other icons of twentieth-century design— Levi's jeans, Converse All Star Chuck Taylors, and a few other classics— highly regarded as superior in quality and timeless in design.

The frame itself (the front part) appears new with no wear at all to frame, nosepads, or lenses. It is marked on the bridge "Ful-Vue AO" and also marked "24," indicating the bridge size. The lens size measures 50mm. The hinges are snug and operate smoothly. The temples both say 6-3/4 AO American Optical. While the frame appears new in every respect, the temples are somewhat worn and have been professionally repaired.

The lenses are either non-prescription, or have a mild "reading glasses" prescription, I can't really tell. The lenses are probably plastic since they are so lightweight.
