Yes it is... I bought several before I finally had success!

That looks very good Sake. Is it 50% tint or less than that?

I'll let you know once I measure it.

Interesting Oliver Peoples Connolly color. (No it's not sanded off gold)

So…I’ve had this conversation with Mike and I swear after doing avid research, there is a more square shaped version either being FT453 OR TF453, of course followed by the color code. And no NOT the Stacey model which is more rounded. That being said, which one is yours? And could you possibly post comparison pics? Thanks bro and great find!

Christopher Reeve's glasses from Superman may be impossible to definitively ID after all these years, but these Anglo American are, at a minimum, very very close, and from the right period.

Isn't gio's post about the lens color? I have also studied 453s, and from what I have researched, the early Dark Havanas tend to have more light colors and the later ones less. The lenses on the later Dark Havanas seem to be a bit rounder, but I compared three different 453s from different eras and the lens shape was exactly the same.

Ok maybe it’s just my perception but yours do look like the top bridge is angled straight across more so than mine? Along with the lens shape being more squared. With that being said I’m keeping an eye out for the FT model for a comparison. Thanks bro

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think you're crazy

You guessed it!

Is this what you mean? Is it a typo?

I have the jonhson in dark havana, I also have them in blue and in black, I got the blue in india and from the original email I see that the code is tf453 88c, from ebay the code of the black ones should be tf45301p.

I can't make pictures now but I never even knew there was a difference

 

[Schlegel]

I found 2 new colors of Mosley Tribes Lyndel, red gingham and brown tortoise. The gingham appears to be actual fabric sandwiched in clear acetate I think.

 

[jonshum]

The brown lenses all seem slightly different

from this angle I really can't tell, btw mine are the ones with the green lenses on the left
