other info

• We know the name of this frame as it
  
  appears in a catalogue we have dated
  
  1964. (The next earliest AO catalogue
  
  we have is 1959 and the Stadium doesn't
  
  feature, so we know this pair is 1960's.)
  
  The name is supposed to evoke masculinity
  
  we guess - and it is a sturdy frame with a
  
  seven barrel hinge. It also features a keyhole
  
  bridge, mitred joints - and whopping 6¼ inch
  
  arms, obviously to accommodate that large
  
  brain of yours.
