Re: Help Identify this Frame

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!
