My mom has some very old vintage sunglasses probably from the 20's. They belonged to some distant relative. They are very similar to the ones in the second photo, but have thinner wire arms and the shade things on the side are metal mesh (I can't tell from the photo what they look like on your glasses). They are very neat, I'll have to ask her for those next time I go home.
I don't wanna hijack this thread, but I have some adorable vintage sunglasses that I can't seem to date. I want to say late 50's/early 60's, but wouldn't be surprised if they were later. Here's a picture:
Any ideas?

But more accurately, I think they are motorcycle riding glasses.

I'd think around 1950?
