Medical Forum / General / Vision / June 2006Help Identify this Frame
Here's a Safilo frame I'm to replicate: <http://i3.tinypic.com/15d9ipv.jpg> front Can any one please identify the model and age? Can ypou make out the model no stamped here: <http://i4.tinypic.com/15d9ceu.jpg> inside R temple LIFO-111 (last in first out?) TIFO-111 I doubt it's the frame dims as they are stamped inside the bridge. Thanks Who cares? It is ugly, dag city plus. It would be 30-40 years old and well out of production. New Zealand is pretty backwards, but this is ridiculous. dr grant > Who cares? It is ugly, dag city plus. It would be 30-40 years old and > well out of production. Hey, be careful what you call ugly! I owned and proudly wore that very model circa 1974. Thought it was something special and beautiful then! > New Zealand is pretty backwards, but this is ridiculous. > > dr grant > > Who cares?

Thought it was > something special and beautiful then! Great. Do you recall the model number, or can you decipher what's stamped on the right temple: <http://i4.tinypic.com/15d9ceu.jpg>? > > > Who cares? It is ugly, dag city plus.

There is no model # in your photo, just the word Italy. Why do you want it? Dr Judy > > Great.

Then what are the characters *after* the word ITALY? > Why do you want it? I'm a jeweller and I make eyeglasses, and the owner of a broken Safilo frame has commissioned me to make a gold frame based on it. I'll mimic the general shape but make a stronger hinge and perhaps a stronger bridge. I want to know what those letters mean, and what model it is, just to complete the picture. Thanks > Who cares?

As a New Zealander I say to you: "*GET STUFFED!*, Seppo!" STFU dumb coconut. First I am Australian, second I can spell my name correctly. Having been to NZ on many occasions, I can speak with authority on your backwardness. Besides, wait till the tri-nations and watch us kick your collective a.ses. dr grant The series was called UFO followed by a style number. Sometimes, you can advertise in an optical newspaper for older model frames. Sometimes, there may be enough old parts at Safilo, the manufactuer, to put together a whole frame or possibly they may have a whole frame in stock. However, 25-30 years is a long time although some styles are timeless. Remember the old rectangular plastic frame that Henry Kissinger wore all the years he worked in the Nixon Administration? Fortune by Liberty Optical - a frame style that lasted between 20-30 years. Today, I think the average life of a frame style is about a year if you are lucky!

Thank you. Brian  SignatureAuckland NEW ZEALAND That's not a UFO model. They were super thin for their time, like stainless steel frames are today. Why don't you try emailing safilo? Go to their web page or try safilo.co.nz? dr grant Go Wallabies
