Description from the seller
Ray-Ban B&L W2851 Sidestreet Tea Cup Vintage 1998 Gold Tortoise BL Lenses
Vintage Ray-Ban B&L W2851 Sidestreet Tea Cup sunglasses from the late 1990s.
A distinctive and collectible vintage Ray-Ban model featuring a gold/copper-tone metal frame combined with beautifully patterned tortoiseshell acetate temples.
The sunglasses are pre-owned and in very good overall condition, with only minimal signs of previous use. The lenses are in excellent condition and remain exceptionally clean, with no significant scratches visible.
A particularly interesting detail for collectors: BOTH lenses feature the characteristic engraved “BL” Bausch & Lomb markings.
The sunglasses come with a brown Ray-Ban case.
Model: Ray-Ban W2851
Series: Sidestreet / Tea Cup
Era: late 1990s
Lens size: 51 mm
Frame: gold/copper-tone metal
Temples: patterned tortoiseshell acetate
Lenses: green/grey G-15 style mineral lenses with BL engravings
Condition: very good pre-owned condition
Accessories: brown Ray-Ban case included
Please examine all photos carefully, as they form an integral part of the description. A beautiful vintage pair for collectors and enthusiasts of classic B&L-era Ray-Ban eyewear.
The Ray-Ban W2851 Sidestreet Tea Cup belongs to the late Bausch & Lomb era of Ray-Ban and is generally dated to around 1998. It is one of the distinctive late-1990s Sidestreet designs, combining a refined metal front with patterned acetate temples.
The W2851 is particularly attractive to vintage Ray-Ban collectors because it comes from the final period when Ray-Ban was produced under Bausch & Lomb in the USA, before the brand was acquired by Luxottica in 1999.
The original B&L mineral lenses are one of the defining features of these vintage models. The engraved “BL” markings on both lenses are a characteristic detail of Bausch & Lomb-era Ray-Ban eyewear.
The W2851 has a sophisticated, slightly oval “Tea Cup” silhouette and an unmistakable 1990s aesthetic. Its combination of metallic gold-tone framing and tortoiseshell acetate makes it a particularly distinctive example of the Sidestreet series.
