    Question Vintage eyewear parts

    I have a patient who purchased a lovely retro temple front. It is a pearlized brown with black back. The temples however were not included and the company she purchased from can not get the temples to match for up to a year. Is there any good place to look for a match that may not be exact, but in the spirit of the frame?

    What kind of hinge do they have? If regular old 5 bbl, you might look at Shuron's site,maybe some old NuLady temples will fit.
