other info

• There is a patent number on this frame that dates it from
  
  1928 and says that the inventor was a British man by the
  
  name of Cecil Ernest McLeod, who made various other
  
  inventions, from bicycles to electric lamps. This particular
  
  patent relates to the position of the arms meeting the face
  
  of the frame: note they meet at the top. This became known
  
  as the Ful-Vue frame, later purchased by American Optical.
  
  Prior to this, frames had their arms meeting in the middle of
  
  the frame. The frame, too, is British as it is stamped thus on
  
  the end of the right arm. It is a small and delicate frame,
  
  suitable for men or women.
