Described in 1952 as "a handsome masculine successor to the famour AO Sampson Ful-Vue", Liner was famously worn by Bob Dylan. AO introduced Liner as "Design for the modern man : Here's a man who believes in modern design, up-to-date utility and thrifty economy. It is not at all surprising that he likes the AO Liner Ful-Vue. For the modern, square Ful-Vue eyeshape and the wide streamlined temples are commanding, authoritative, fashionable... they reflect his personality. He likes the rugged construction, the functional design. He approciates the strength of the exclusive AO double-braced bridge and the wide rigid bar-type temples that help so much te preserve the perfection of his Rx. The Liner carries the mark of quality."
