(The model, called Nautic, was discontinued in 1989.) Attached at the temples are TCB lightning bolt logos cast in 14kt white gold from original molds made by Roberts in the 1970s; the lenses are half-tinted in Elvis' favorite Dove Blue shade. Roberts crafted more than 400 pairs of glasses for the King during the 1970s, many of which became recognizable trademarks of Presley's image. In Excellent condition. LOA from Dennis Roberts.
