Rexall Drug Store sunglasses -1956
Johnny Depp eat your heart out.
Just like now, there were expensive sunglasses and cheap one. Most people wore the cheap ones.
Fosta Grantly – 1955
I really like the design of this ad. Somehow very modern.
Fosta-Grantly – 1955
Funny that the main figure in the ad is not wearing sunglasses. I guess Jeff Chandler would take a paycheck but not don the specs.
Albert Richard – 1951
Some cool winter jackets here. Leather, mouton collared, nylon or gabardine, take your pick.
Ray Ban Sunglasses 1950
Early aviators and proto – wayfarers. Crystal frames, green lenses. The crystal frames sunglasses look pretty close to what would become the iconic wayfarer, but from a couple years before the official introduction of the model. Maybe they weren’t as “groundbreaking” as the current literature would have you believe.

Model Z for Zipper- a Talon Zipper that is. 1947
Monarch Jackets – 1947
Some clothe offerings from Monarch.
