My parents wore wire rimless glasses in the '40s and early '50s. Later pictures have them in plastic frames. My 90 yr old grandmother was still wearing rimless glasses in the 70s.
I could be 100% wrong! But I know how it is because I have a few old family pictures that have me totally stumped.

I'd consider the glasses first. My father, who was born in 1919, stopped wearing rimless in the 1950s. The man in the photo may have just been a bit conservative (or stubborn) and didn't want to wear the "new look." The only people I remember wearing rimless in the '60s, were elderly.
*This is what happens when we don't finish reading the thread before we post. My grandmother was born in the 1890s and wore similar glasses until her death in 1964.
