    would anyone happen to have....

    I need a right temple for a clients old B&L sunglass. I've dug through all my boxes and can't find the specific hinge. Temple is 4mm where it connects to the front. It's GF but it doesn't matter as long as I can get these wearable again. I'll figure out some way to make it worth your while...

    If it just needs the hinge repaired, send it to McCray optical. They will solder on a new one for you.

    I'll offer that as an option if I can't secure a new temple. I'd imagine it would also scorch the temple pretty badly.

    Send it to LaserFix in Alberta and they will laser weld it without a scorch or heat mark .

    I believe that was a B&L Signet, from long ago.

    It's pretty classic looking with the double gradient mirror. Bit of a chip in the lens but quite wearable now. :)

    Hey anytime you have a frame that is gold filled, if you have the experience know how and equipment it is easily repaired and polished to look like new. New barrel soldered on, a solder point break loose....those are easy fixes. When the frame starts to wearing thin due to use and skin acid.....now it gets to be a bit tricky.
