    Liberty metal safety frames?

    I have a patient that is in need of a pair of temples for an old Liberty safety frame. The frame has been discontinued and nothing is available. I think the model is LO #60, but I have to check again on Monday.


    Any of my fellow Optiboarders have any of these relics laying around?


    Walleye, I know you must have about 18 dozen?

    Are those regular old 5 barrel temples? Say, like what you'd find on a Cambridge?

    Is it two barrels on the temple or one?

    Fezz,

    If you need pewter, I think I've got some around. That's the only color we ever used, and we did a ton of them.

    Sounds like Johns has you covered.

    Anyone remember the Swank Bonnie frame? That frame had three different hinges on it during it's tenure - regular 5bbl, 3bbl with one on temple, and 3bbl with two on temple. Sheesh!

    Liberty temples

    Hi Fezz,
    I checked in warehouse 4, bay 16, pallet rack 32 , and I do have 6 triwall containers of those temples. Seriously though, it must be an import to be a 3 barrel with a spring hinge. I think yout got the answer from others on the board. Take care, Walter

    You must need a golf cart to get around that warehouse of yours!

    Fezz,

    I'll check my warehouse (ok, my closest) in the morning, and see what I can dig up.

    I dropped the ball!

    I don't have any LO60 temples! We did a ton of them because they had a unifit bridge, and the Amish loved the plain look. My lab guy says we tossed all the remants of them about 2 years ago, when we started doing mostly private label.

    My bad...:cheers:
