Hinges are seven-barrel style on older models or specialized integrated on modern ones. Weight should be substantial due to glass lenses.

Selling Tips
Clean the lenses with a microfiber cloth and specialized spray. Use white vinegar and a soft brush to remove the white oxidation/buildup on the frame joints. In listing photos, include clear shots of the temple model numbers and the 'RB' etching on the lens to prove authenticity. Ship in the hard case inside a box to avoid crushing.
