The Kenmark Stanford vintage eyeglasses feature a softly squared aviator silhouette that blends classic proportions with the refined metalwork characteristic of 1980s optical design. The slim gold-tone stainless steel frame outlines generously sized lenses with gently curved lower edges and a subtly defined brow line. Delicate detailing at the hinges and temples adds visual interest, while adjustable nose pads provide a practical finishing touch. Frame Model: Stanford (Havana) Decade: 1980s Country of Origin: Korea Lenses: Demo lenses, ready for custom Condition: Excellent vintage Measurements: 56-18-140 Historical Context Founded in 1972 by Mark Kerman, Kenmark Optical began as an American eyewear company developing house brands before expanding into licensed collections. The company’s eyewear history is documented from the early 1980s, with the Kenmark trademark recorded for eyeglass-frame distribution and use beginning in 1981. Vintage Kenmark frames were produced through international manufacturing networks, including Korea and Japan, reflecting the company’s broad sourcing approach. Their designs range from classic rounded and rectangular opticals to more expressive semi-rimless and geometric forms, often combining clean construction with practical detailing. The exact years when Kenmark began producing frames specifically in Korea or Japan are not reliably documented, so those manufacturing origins are best attributed to individual surviving examples rather than a fixed production date.
