    Identifying Glasses

    Hey guys, I hope this thread is not out of turn on this forum.
    I have a pair of vintage Ray-Ban sunglasses that I got out of a garage I cleaned from a very old man. The only markings on the glasses are across the bridge, where it says "B&L RAY-BAN USA LIC"
    It also says "Made in W. Germany on one temple tip and "Frame- W. Germany" on the other. The lenses measure at 60 mm across each.
    I cannot find any information at all about what type of Ray-Bans these could be, and was wondering if I could get anything out of you guys?

    Thanks in advance.

    I've got some pictures, but I don't have a good camera and can't focus on any of the engravings.

    It does not make me clear kindly got some picture in a closer look.

    As I am trying to judge from the upper look, I think that is B&L.

    Looks like good old fashioned Aviators to me. Today they would be the "large" size, dunno if they even made multiple sizes back in the B&L days.

    You found quality made ray bans not the JUNK that is produced now.

    The nosepads don't look like the original pads from way back.

    Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

    Those look to me like the old original what we called one and only RayBan 10K gold filled. It came in 2 sizes large and small, and there were no other RayBans at that timel.
