In the first centuries after the invention of glasses, wood was often the material used for frames but later it disappeared when metal and plastics took over. In 1966 there was a short lived attempt to bring wooden frames back into fashion. I remember seeing frames like this in the windows of opticians in 1966 but never in the streets. Several decades later I came across this vintage pair and recognized it straightaway. The shape of the frame is characteristic for the mid 1960's but it's the material - and the great style of modeling - that set this nameless pair apart.
