I bought these frames around 1994. I wanted the "John Lennon" look. I had to look through a catalog at my eye doctor's office to find them. They are absolutely round with the rims and temples fully engraved. I have just recently purchased a new pair of frames and retired these. I'm trying to find out the manufacturer to no avail. There are no markings anywhere. Jan, at my eye doctor's office seems to think that they are Oliver Peoples. She has consulted with her girlfriend whom deals with Oliver Peoples frames on a daily basis.
Does anyone have a clue?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi. Beautiful glasses. I don't think that these are Peoples, though I could well be wrong. My reasons: Nose pads are too dark, and the temple pieces are unlike any Peoples glasses I've seen. I'd call the home office in California, if I you haven't already verified the origin of these.
