■COMMENT
#FUL-VUE AVIATOR style by AMERICAN OPTICAL in 1950s. With cable temples.
#In 1930 AMERICAN OPTICAL released firstly FUL-VUE, whose hinges are on the almost top on the lens. Other makers in the US (ex. B&L, SHURON, ART CRAFT) those days paid license fee to AO to make this popular FUL-VUE style.
#Wire temple has so much antique flavor.
