Estate Auction Find of My Life





























I've been out of town again, helping out my parents with an auction (and their garden!). Needless to say, this box lot of seventeen 1950s and early 1960s glasses is perhaps the coolest thing ever. They are all manufactured by Art Craft and in great shape. The rhinestone arrangements and aluminum frames are stunning. I was showing them off to a fellow bespectacled style nerd who said, "Yeah, there's like LensCrafters cat-eye, then there's like punch-you-in-the-face cat-eye!" Looks like I'm going to have to get some lenses put into these babies so I can start punching people in the face (metaphorically, of course). Best part? I got the whole lot for $5.
