Old World Decor adds drama to modern Polaroid sun glasses designed by American Optical Company. On sun drenched summer days, Polaroid Antique Crest provides assured eye protection for your comfort and distinctive styling for your pleasure. A miniature raised chest is centered at the bridge of the frame, which has been completely metal plated to create an antique affect. Temples and upper part of the frame are stippled to resemble hammered metal and contrast with the smooth finish of the eyewires circling the Polaroid lenses. Costume-complementing ribbons can be slipped through the slotted temple ends. In cool silver or sun-warmed bronze, Polaroid Antique Crest is available at $2.98 wherever better sun glasses are sold, including drug, department and sporting goods stores as well as other retail outlets.
