Eyeglasses are in good condition. Original glass lens are included all in a vintage eyeglasses case. Size 48-20 on the nose pad Only flaws I could find are the metal in the arms does have some blue verdigris? The arms are marked Romco but this isn’t unusual as surviving NOS example shows the frames were packaged separately from the arms and there were a variety of manufacturers. Please note that these acetate glasses are 50-60 years old so they won’t be pristine and acetate this old will not hold up as it did when issued depending on how it was stored.
