Ray Ban history :-

In 1929, US Army Air Corps Lieutenant General John MacCready asked Bausch & Lomb, a Rochester, New York-based medical equipment manufacturer, to create aviation sunglasses that would reduce the distraction for pilots caused by the intense blue and white hues of the sky.
From 1937 until 1999 Ray Bans were american owned but were sold to Luxoticca in Italy from then on for 640 million dollars.
Early models do not have BL engraved .Later models do have BL engraved and in the 1980s Ray Ban was to be found on the right lens in an attempt to counteract imitations. There are many models of american Ray Bans some of which can be very rare and always of the hignest quality.
