    J&B Optical

    The office I have recently taken over has been in business over 50 years and I am finding some really unique things every time I open an old cabinet it seems. The latest thing is about 25 pairs of cable temples for a J&B Optical frame called a "Lord" I guess it was popular in the day. I looked and could find no reference for J&B Optical or for a Lord frame. any of the old timers out there have any info? Just curious.

    We have some old Cazals and the like we are going to do that with, but , somehow, I don't see 25 pairs of cable temples for an obsolete frame setting any sales records but we may give it a try. We will certainly be doing that with the solder units and the Visual training equipment.

    I remember the Lord Still a bit popular when I first started. Don't sell all of the temples, you may be able to use them in a pinch on other frames when needed.

    What kind of soldering units??

    A quick electric solder unit , I would say 60's or 70's. just have the one though, thought there was another back there but it was a gradient arm with random wires near it. ( back in an old dark closet without lights)
