Hello,

I'd appreciate any help you could give me with dating these sunglasses. The flowered pair has the marking - Crown 168 on one of the arms. The other pair has no maker mark but does say Taiwan on one arm. Thank you!

I have no experience with sunglasses but I can say the floral pair look very similar to the frames on some prescription glasses I or my twin had around 1993, that sort of micro floral print also appears on many 90's dresses.
 
Late to the party - been away for a bit... anyway, I was thinking 90s for the first pair too. Like Melanie said, the micro flower print, and also the Wayfarer-style shape, that I remember seeing everywhere at that time. I'd probably go with early to mid-90s. I remember absolutely wanting to have a pair of sunglasses in this shape too at the time - though my choice was neon colors :hysterical:. Never mind that this is the one sunglass shape that does not suit me at all as I realised at the next revival of the style...
