About the Item

The frame is gold filled with 12k gold and the arms are made of gold coloured metal and are in good condition and with nice extra frame detailing, the green tinted lenses are in great condition also. In the late 1920's the American Optical Company filed for the patent on their new 'FUL-VUE' design. The idea was to raise the point at which the arms connected to the frames, removing them from the wearer's peripheral vision. Size:- Frame width 13 ½ cm, arm length 11 cm. Period 1950-1999 Year 1980.s Medium Gold Country United States.

Harvard Radios vs. Princeton Aviators Vintage Football Poster, circa 1918
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
This is a very scarce WWI Work Relief Fund poster featuring the Harvard Radios competing against the Princeton Aviators. The game, held on November 23, 1918, was a benefit football game to raise money for the war effort. The poster dynamically depicts two football players mid-action. Below, the names of the teams are printed in yellow, with the date, location of the game, and ticket information printed in contrasting white. The United War Work Campaign’s logo is printed at bottom center. The logo is composed of a black star and the number 7, with the text “United War Work Campaign” encircling the star in a yellow ring. The poster was illustrated by the artist J. Liello. His signature is printed in stone, visible on the left side of the composition.
