other info

• PG stands for Paul Green, a frame manufacturer from
  
  Cumbria who sadly are long gone. They were a huge
  
  company at the time when this frame was made, being
  
  one of the largest makers of NHS frames as well as
  
  their own line of prescription frames, like this one.
  
  And they imported eyewear. Here is a trade ad of theirs
  
  from 1968 showing a working partnership with fashion
  
  designer and Royal Warrant holder Norman Hartnell.
  
  The Cumbrian was one of their best sellers as we have
  
  had quite a few of them over the years. It is a heavy
  
  frame with library sides joined using the 7-charnier
  
  hinge in a 2:3 pin formation, front and sides. They made
  
  them in many colours and styles, this a two-tone in black.
  
  In excellent condition.
