Looking for old frame

**DragonLensmanWV** · 03-12-2008, 11:21 AM

One of our customers has finally broken her dear old frame. I told her I would ask here to see if anyone happens to have this old classic around.

I need a Tura 417, silver in 57 eye.

Funny, I saw the thread in the Optical Marketplace where Leo had an Edgemaster II, that came complete with a Tura 417 pattern. I almost came in to mention that I had just done a pair of lenses for one. Now a month later, she's broken the temple. As a last resort, I could solder it, but thought I'd see if I could get her one. She's in very poor health and this would be her last frame.

Hey Dragon, who ever bought the edger really bought it for the pattern because they still have the frame on the board.

Track down the buyer and voila, tura 417 frame. Can't believe they bought it for the edger.;)

Hello, Billy,
She has picked out a new pair but she has worn that Tura for ...well since they came out what, 20 years ago or so?
She will be in later this week or early next week for her new ones and I'll ask her. What other colors do you have?
She is in poor health and I don't think she has a whole lot of time left in this world, but she loves those frames so much I would bet she would love any color. Didn't they come in a burgundy color or somesuch? I'll bet I could remove the paint in such a case and the frame would be silver underneath.
