Seller Description
**[VINTAGE ARCHIVE] 1950s Japanese Workshop Handmade Cable Temple Frame**
A masterpiece of mid-century Japanese craftsmanship. This frame features an authentic "Saddle Bridge" (no nose pads) and "Cable Temples" (hook temples) that wrap entirely around the ear—details rarely found in modern eyewear. It is a genuine artisanal piece marked only with a workshop emblem on the bridge, representing the essence of classic vintage aesthetics.
🔍 **Condition Report**
[NOTICE] This is an authentic vintage/pre-owned item from the 1950s-60s, not a modern reproduction. Signs of previous use and aging are present. Please review the high-resolution photos and videos carefully.
* **Maintenance:** Completely disassembled, followed by precision ultrasonic cleaning and reassembly of the screws. It is in ready-to-wear condition.
* **Status:** Good vintage condition with minor scratches consistent with its age. The structural durability is sound.
* **Material:** Estimated to be a Nickel Silver (Alpaca) alloy, non-magnetic, and maintains a remarkable weight of only 9g.
💡 **Professional Analysis**
* **Ultralight Design:** At just **9g**, this frame provides an incredibly lightweight experience, feeling almost non-existent when worn.
* **Cable Temple (Important):** The flexible temples wrap behind the ears. This structure allows for a highly stable fit and can be customized to the curvature of your head. We recommend a fine adjustment by a professional to suit your specific ear position.
* **Aesthetic:** The minimal round shape and slim frame maximize an intellectual and archival impression.
