Just got these today in a thrift shop.

 

These glasses and case are in absolutely MINT CONDITION.

 

The glasses are PERFECT and appear unworn. There is NO WEAR or marking on the nose pads, and the lenses are pristine.

 

They are in a Hard Shell, simulated leather, OD [ olive drab ] color snap case with a black velvet type lining.

 

Affixed to the lid is a medical tape with the typed wording “ S/Sgt. Franklin A. Greene, Jr. ASN 33379928 “. This was a common practice on issue glasses.

 

If someone has info on him I'd appreciate it.

 

If anyone is interested I just put them on Ebay item # 170286979999.

 

These are positively the best I've ever had or seen in 55 years.

regards,

Bob Frey
