You
could have bought them for $2.98 back in
the 1950s, but you sure won't find mint
condition 1950s sunglasses and matching
clip-on visor case in fab fifties designs
at that price today - although they're still
quite an affordable and fun accessory. Take
your pick of two retro Merit designs or
buy them both; each comes in the original
clip-on car sun visor case and warranty
certificate. Even though sunglasses don't
come with that kind of case today, the staff
here feels it was a good design idea and
are all trying to figure out how to put
clips on their own sunglasses case. These
were manufactured by the Merit Manufacturing
Company of Central Falls, RI and were heavily
advertised during the period in Life Magazine.
Note the open gap in some of the side ear
bars to give them just a little added design
flair. The frames are made of plastic, somewhat
flexible so they can be bent into shape
to some degree but not rigid like modern
sunglasses; fit adjustments may be needed.
They come with the original warranty that
notes they are "manufactured for optical
safety and construction and the lens are
precision cut and processed and certified
to be of the finest quality." The sunglasses
measure approximately 5.5" wide at
the lens, and the ear bars measure approximately
5.5" long. The visor clip-on plastic
case measures approximately 6.0" wide,
3.0" high, and 1.0" deep. Each
pair of sunglasses is in mint condition
and has the original Merit red and gold
seal on the lens noting the original $2.98
price, "6 Base Hardened Lens"
and that it "Conforms to Conn SG 40".
We just love the design of these, sure to
generate complements and questions wherever
you wear them. These mint condition, never
used 50s sunglasses come to you direct from
the dusty shelf of a Newport, Rhode Island
estate liquidation.
