Circa 1945 Americans were all proud of contributing to make the world a better and peaceful place. Through sacrifice, hard work and creativity both men and women alike felt great self-accomplishments. They proudly wanted to reap these benefits and live life free with no limitations. The Benjamin was introduced with that proud intent of representing this same bold freedom. Its riveted strong comfort bayonet temples matched with a straight forward front brow gave it an overall look of brash Americana.
