other info

• A bit of an enigma this pair, as at first glance it looks
  
  like Solette that was introduced in 1961, with the sleek
  
  lines and the squared off sides: indeed the dimensions
  
  and shape are exactly the same, but the square shields
  
  are not right nor are the arm shields. So what we have
  
  here is a Solette front that has been paired with different
  
  arms. Also, the inside of our arm is stamped Polyanna.
  
  We know this is not a Polyanna as this is a Polyanna,
  
  a more rounded frame. This is not the first time we've
  
  seen this: check out this Caribbean front we've had
  
  before with Wayfarer arms - we found out separately
  
  that they called this frame Masculine but it didn't appear
  
  in any of their catalogues. Perhaps therefore this was
  
  called Feminine, don't know. And perhaps they were for
  
  export only, or samples. This isn't the first one we've had
  
  of these, so they made a few. Our pair looks never to have
  
  been worn as have others we've had, so this might be a clue.
