RetroSpecs & Co. represents and celebrates the “Golden Age” of eyewear manufacturing. Their collection of “real deal” vintage eyewear has been lovingly restored with precision and meticulously archived. They are categorized into one of five archives: Early Modern, Vintage, Specialty, Buffalo Horn Inlay, and MUSEUM.
-
- Early Modern – circa 1910-50’s 1/10 12k gold-filled wire frames
-
- Specialty – rarer circa 1870-1970 w/ solid gold nosepads
-
- ???MUSEUM???
-
- Vintage – circa 1950-70s 1/20 12k gold-filled heavy metals
-
- Buffalo Horn Inlay – 1/10 12k gold inlay circa 1920-50s
What does it mean for a piece to be classified as “Museum”? It means there are five or fewer known to exist worldwide. These extremely special and rare frames are only made available for viewing or for purchase on special occasions. One happens to be coming up.
Adam Cowfer of RetroSpecs & Co. will be at SPECS OPTICAL on Friday, September 5th from 11am-7pm, and Saturday, September 6th from 12pm-6pm, 2014.
This will also be the WORLD PREMIERE of the new titanium and buffalo horn collection CUTHBERT & CHEN. Don’t miss out!
