HOT ! B&L Ray-Ban Vagabond USA G15 Glass Deadstock Unworn-Vintage 70s

Bausch & Lomb Ray-Ban “Vagabond” – Deadstock Unworn – USA

Overview

A true American-made original.

This is a Vintage Bausch & Lomb Ray-Ban Vagabond, stamped on the interior temple and marked B&L Ray-Ban U.S.A. — confirming pre-Luxottica American production.

Finished in deep navy acetate with red and white laminated striping and fitted with original green G-15 lenses, this piece captures late-1970s / early-1980s Americana styling at its best.

Collectibility

The Vagabond model was produced in far lower quantities than the Aviator or Outdoorsman and is rarely found in this condition 

Pre-1999 Bausch & Lomb Ray-Ban pieces continue to rise in collectibility due to 

• American production

• Glass G-15 lenses

• Heavier build quality

• Increasing scarcity

This is a true collector’s example.
