    Chinese seem to be making a lot of them, someone here should be selling them. Could make your own from a P3 or oval or something similar.

    Thanks Fezz, this is what I need. However I once got a couple of the half-moon half-eyes for a lawyer. Took forever to get, when they came back glazed from the lab, the nose pad broke off with such a gentle pressure it wouldn't have torn toilet paper. Took forever to get a replacement, took forever to get credit for defective.
    Has the quality improved? Price was high enough to be well made, sure wasn't.

    Antique look or newer?

    If you want the antique look, Art Craft still makes the round Art-Bilt and for a newer look flexon makes a couple models that are gun or coffee .

    re: round frames

    I second what Jacqui said. I have about a hundred of a particular oval frame, and it wasn't exactly flying off the shelf, so I made a perfectly round variant (and sold a few). It's a good way to make something that has been sitting around more sellable.
