Description of item

Amazing modeling beauty 1930s-40s precious dead made in USA AO AMERICAN OPTICAL NUMONT FUL-VUE 1/10 12KGF & hand carved 10K solid BRIDGE42/22

It is assumed that the bridge parts were hand-carved on a 1/10 12KGF gold-plated body, which was created shortly after AMERICAN OPTICAL, the largest US manufacturer at the time, obtained the patent for FUL-VUE, which was all the rage in the United States. The long-awaited arrival of the precious authentic half-rimless NUMONT Lansing dead stock with a mount, which is composed of a solid 10K gold bridge and is equipped with FUL-VUE, where you can see the use of luxurious materials unique to this era.
By placing the rim only at the top of the lens, it is possible to obtain more than 2 points of stability and lightweight comfort, while embodying a lean and minimalist CLASSIC STYLE, which is supported by only one point on the bridge. In addition to the authentic OLD CLASSIC structure that you rarely see anywhere else, the use of the highest quality materials creates a delicate, elegant and beautiful appearance.
If you look at the details of the 10K BRIDGE engraving, which is also written on the mount, with a magnifying glass, you can see the engraving work by craftsmen at the time, which is uneven in a good way, which suggests that it was done by hand. You can tell that it is a solid 10K material from the 1/10 thickness of the 12K gold-plated rim on the eyebrows.The back side is also engraved with AO NUMONT FUL-VUE, which shows the thoroughness of the work down to the smallest detail. I am deeply impressed by this.
A clear lens with a lens shape that reproduces the original mold created by a master from scratch based on AO materials from the time is installed, so you can simply trace the current one according to your intended use. Another important point is that the lens can be easily replaced, and while you can almost only see small sizes in dead stock such as 38mm and 40mm, the 42/22 is not too small and can be worn with a compact silhouette, making it a perfect fit. The contents are packed with top-ranked dead stock with a mount and great points, so don't miss out on this opportunity, considering the specs are rarely in stock.
There is a hallmark stamp on the back of the bridge that means 10K.
