'Metal combination' frames were worn in the 50's and 60's. They were 'Men only' frames. Malcolm X wore them, and this style can be seen in many Hollywood movies when a character is needed to look more intelligent than the rest of the cast. Cary Grant, Burt Lancaster,Gregory Peck etc. More recently, they are worn by a central character in 'Heroes'.
This frame is called 'Dolphy'.
