Vintage Ray Ban Expert

[MacKenzieKelley]

I have a vintage pair of men's ray bans. they are aviator "flight" sunglasses. they are in mint condition and have the original case. I saw on ebay that they went for $400. Honestly, I am only selling them so I can buy a new pair I will take as low as $200 I think so I can afford my new pair. I can send a photo later but I was just wondering if you were interested. Thanks!

ok so I did a bit more research. The glasses i own are called aviator "shooter" this is a picture from google but they are this type.

I have a pair of B&L aviator sunglasses that are not marked Ray Ban anywhere on them. Are all B&L Aviators marked Ray Ban? They are marked under the bridge B&L 58 14 U.S.A.
They also have the BL mark etched in the glass where the arms meet the frame. The frames are gold colored and the lenses are green and appear to be glass. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Jeff.

Do you know what kind of ray ban this is? And maybe what it is worth?

Hi. I just bought a pair of vintage wayfarers, and I believe they are a special edition. I am wondering how much they are worth.

they have the LB in both lenses. inside, on the right side it reads 'L&B RAY-BAN U.S.A.' and 'MOLINARI', on the left it reads 'MOLINARI' and 'WAYFARER'. above one of the lenses on the inside, it reads 'L&B5024'.

the 'MOLINARI' is in a slightly smaller font as the rest of the writing.

The woman that sold them to me told me a price and when she looked at them regretted selling them.

I cannot find any information anywhere online.

I have a pair of Bausch and Lomb Ray Ban aviator glasses.
Aprox. 30 years old.
It has the BL inscription on both glasses.
On top of the frame it says B&L Ray Ban U.S.A. And after that something that looks like LIC.
On the right arm at the end is : FRAME W. GERMANY
Can you please tell me what specific type this one is?
Thanks!

Hi, I am having trouble describing my husbands retro Raybans, have had enquiries from Thailand & UK offering a lot more than I'm advertising as they are the REAL thing as all of the questions regarding 'markings' on them seem to be what they're asking, lens marking, bridge of nose engraving etc, could you poss look at listing & advise me , best offer on table now between 2 ebayers is £95?! Item No on ebay is 291120751907 . TIA

Hello.
Please could you help me with my Ray Ban Wayfarer. I I don't now if they are false or what.
On the right side piece it says B & L Ray Ban USA and on the left side piece is the only Wayfarer.
In the edge on both lenses is the BL. They're black and I know they are over 20 years old, but it's all I know.
Thanks.

Hi Molo, My familiarity with B&L Ray Bans is mostly with their USA made Wayfarer, Clubmaster, Balorama models. The fact that these have L&B etched instead of B&L concerns me but I'd have to research further to be sure. Are there any additional markings on the actual frame (not the ear pieces)?

Lisette, Can you post pictures? Also, is there lettering on the back of the frames themselves?

Hi Arif, Are these wrap arounds? I recall seeing an Italian made Ray Ban that had RB4149 as it's model. I hope I'm not stepping on toes, just read a couple posts that touched on my faves. Cheers, Tony
