Replacement Plastic Temple arms for Vintage
frames made between 1950 and 1975.

We have a supply of original plastic temples. Generally, plastic temples are made similar to one another. One difference is in the number of barrels that hold the temple to the front. Depending on style, the number of barrels will range from two to four. Of course, the corresponding barrels on the front must be one less than the number on the temple arm. Take a close look at the two images below. One is a three barrel temple, the other is a four barrel temple.

The shape to the temple end can either be a 45 degree angle or a flat 90 degree angle. Also, all temples are slightly longer on the top. This feature is true regardless of end shape. Take a close look at the two images below.

To order the correct temple you must determine the number of barrels needed and end shape, either 45 degrees or 90 degrees. All plastic temples have the same slight angle cut at the point that the end of the temple contacts the front.
