Vintage Ray-Ban Outdoorsman B&L 10K Gold Filled Aviator G-15 USA 1960s

Ray-Ban Outdoorsman by Bausch & Lomb — vintage 1960s aviator with 10K gold-filled frame, cable temples, and B&L G-15 glass lenses. This early Outdoorsman predates the B&L lens etching era, placing it firmly in the first half of the 1960s. The frame is stamped B&L 1/30 10K GO USA on the browbar, confirming genuine 10K gold-filled construction — not plated — at 1/30 the weight of gold. The distinctive ivory-toned acetate browbar, cable hook temples, and B&L-engraved brow confirm its pre-Luxottica heritage. G-15 glass lenses deliver the neutral green tint and optical clarity that defined B&L Ray-Ban for decades. Includes B&L pebbled leather snap pouch and Bausch & Lomb Warranty Application Card.
