Right temple: B&L Ray-Ban USA

The original mineral glass lenses are intact and in good condition, with no cracks or significant damage. The frame is also well preserved. As a vintage item, the sunglasses show some signs of previous use consistent with age, which adds to their authenticity and character.

Brand: Ray-Ban
Manufacturer: Bausch & Lomb (B&L)
Model: Wayfarer Max W0544
Country of manufacture: USA
Lenses: Original glass lenses with BL engravings
Condition: Good vintage condition
Background / History:
The Ray-Ban Wayfarer is one of the most recognizable sunglasses designs in history. Introduced in the 1950s, it became a cultural icon thanks to its innovative acetate frame, bold silhouette and timeless style.
The Wayfarer Max represents a distinctive evolution of the classic Wayfarer design, offering a larger and more powerful shape while maintaining the unmistakable Ray-Ban identity.
During the famous Bausch & Lomb production era, Ray-Ban sunglasses were manufactured in the USA with a strong reputation for optical quality. Collectors particularly value these models because of their original mineral glass lenses, American production and the characteristic BL engravings on the lenses.
In 1999, Bausch & Lomb sold Ray-Ban to Luxottica, ending the original B&L USA manufacturing era. Today, authentic Bausch & Lomb Ray-Ban USA Wayfarer models, including the Wayfarer Max W0544, are sought after by vintage eyewear collectors for their history, craftsmanship and authenticity.
