UKRay Report post Posted November 1, 2010 Has anyone ever made a pair of spec frames for medieval re-enactment? What are the issues and answers? I have seen a few pairs at events but it would be good to see a few more if anyone has any pictures. Hope you can help! Ray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vikti Report post Posted November 2, 2010 The electrical contractor I use to work for had me out at Alcon Labs in south Ft. Worth and they have a very interesting museum there which includes 2-3 pair of leather spectacles. Below is a link to their virtual museum (there is a link to a slide show about the leather specs) but I will say that the internet doesn't do them justice. The people at Alcon are great people and maybe if you can get in touch with the caretaker maybe they can find a way to get you some pictures that are better than the web site shows. http://www.alcon.com/en/research-development/alcon-eye-museum.aspx Hope this helps.
