| | These classic
Shuron Ronsir black briar on silver combination frames are brand new, mint condition and ready for
prescription or sunglass lenses.
The frames shown in the photos are size 50-22, marked ''50 22'' on the
bridge, ''50'' on the frame and ''SHURON USA RONSIR 5 3/4'' on the temples. Other
size frames are marked the same way, each according to their sizes. The temples
shown are the Shuron ''Taper'' style, but please note that there are several
other styles of temples available, too!

These are brand new, though made pretty much just like they've made them back since the
1950s and I have to tell you, they really are well-made glasses. (This is from
someone who handles mostly vintage frames from the golden age of American
craftsmanship, so I really have seen some of the best frames ever made, or at
least I like to think so!) The finish on the new Ronsir frames is always
well-done, the screws are cooperative and the plastic is tough stuff. They do a
good job on the little details, too, no dangling plastic machine fragments or
big solder blobs I sometimes see on contemporary frames. So,
since these are brand new, is anything different from the Shuron Ronsir of
yesteryear? The nose pads changed from bakelite / mother of pearl back in the late Forties, so they've been using clear ones for a long time. The nose pad fittings were recently changed, making it much simpler to find replacement pads.
The plastic briar pattern has changed over the years and a 1950 black briar will
not be the same as a 1955 black briar and so on. Besides those minor differences,
they really are pretty much the same as they've always been! Great glasses, top
notch!

Temples are measured to their full length, hinge to tip, as though they were straightened out. Why? Because they're adjustable, so measurements to the bend
vary. Lens and bridge measurements are from lens edge to lens edge. Hinge to hinge is measured from screw to screw. TEMPLES:
In the black briar, I stock the standard adult men's temple length of 5 3/4 inches (145 mm) and the
slightly longer
6 inch (150 mm) in both the ''Taper'' and the
''Slipper'' styles shown below.
All the other sizes are available promptly. The
Slipper style is associated with earlier models of the Ronsir and other makers
also used the same style early on in the history of combination frames. The
Taper style came just a little later. There are also cable temples, one called
the ''Relaxo'' and similar in shape to the
''Slipper'' and an all-metal cable
temple Shuron calls the ''Aztec''.

COLORS: They come in other colors,
too: black, tortoise,
mocha,
Cordova and two other woodgrain patterns so
popular during the Fifties: gray briar and
golden briar. These
are true classics, brand new, mint condition. They make great everyday glasses or some very cool sunglasses.
