FS: OT: Vintage Persol Steve McQueen Ratti vintage glasses

Hi moderators, hoping I might slip this one in given the McQueen link.....cheers!

Vintage Persol 649 (Steve McQueen model) in as new condition.

If you like Heuers, Porsches and Steve McQueen then you need a set of his frames- the classic vintage Persol 649.

Here's a NOS pair of vintage Persol McQueens from my collection.

classic Italian manufacture
vintage 60's/70's
NOS
Correct Persol case and tag
This frame's golden/black tortoiseshell coloring is the best IMO
still have gold Persol lens sticker and note correct Persol engraved glass lenses (glass lenses are VERY rare these days as all are made with plastic)
signed "137 80 PERSOL ITALY" and PERSOL 649/2 52/20. As built in the pre-Luxottica conglomerate times by Ratti. Not signed RATTI as some weren't but vintage I am sure with these signed lenses and period accessories.
sold as they came to me, unworn

Look at the condition, pictures speak a thousand words. As new.



I've tightened this screw......:




Measure:
arm's length, temple to ear end: 140mm
width of frame: 140mm
height: 48mm
I would call these a medium+ size, so perfect for a male or female with a small to medium sized features.

Asking $A300 and worth this all day long given a new pair is $A450 for the inferior newly manufactured piece.

Bank transfer or Paypal + fees OK and shipping will be at cost- if O/seas allow $20 shipped with international EMS at cost or slightly more via Fedex. Within Australia I'll use a Platinum Post envelope. Overseas shipping will be insured and at buyers risk.

email for more info or questions:

heuermonaco**@**hotmail.com (remove the two sets of **)

Cheers - & thanks to the moderators.....!
