Boy. Strange things happen. I haven't had those glasses out in years. I ended up looking at CEBE Glacier glasses after I posted, and I got smokin' deal on a pair. I thought, well, when they get here I'll put my lenses in them. They arrived, and one of the frame screws was super glued. I couldn't budge the screw, and couldn't install one of my lenses. So I didn't want to blow out the screw. I couldn't return them if the screw was busted.
As it turned out, the glasses that I bought had prescription lenses in them, so I had no use for them. I asked for a return, and she said, "Since they're prescription they aren't worth returning, Just get rid of them".
Sooo, I had a pair of frames and nothing to lose. The one lense went in just fine since one lense screw worked just fine. I was able to pop out the prescription lense with the glued screw. So, Somehow, I managed to pop my lense into the frames! They're magnesium frames and I was sure that I'd break them. But, it worked. So I got a free pair of frames for my CEBE's. There were no leather side flaps with them, so I bought a piece of leather and

made a pair of side flaps.
For the first time in 20 years, my lenses are resting comfortably inside a nice pair of CEBE frames. Total cost was $5.49 for the piece of leather. So I have a pair of wood frames ready if I manage to step on my glasses again!
