Voila unearthed from the Max Pittion archives of the 1940's is a twin peaked front with elongated round lenses that dip to the bottom. There is literally a peak in the center of each side of the top bridge. This is enhanced with skiving to slightly round it. The nose bridge is a tabletop bump nose.
The bottom rim is rounded with a skiving and a deep tv cut. The front is triple riveted with brass pins, the side horizontal double pins. A heavy 5-barrel brass hinge is the connective action of the frame. The temple shape moves back straight and articulates down just before the ear area then ends in an uplifted square round tip.
