    Wanted to buy: vintage optical test lenses

    Hi all,
    I am an artist who uses optical test lenses, especially older ones, to make mixed media jewelry and other artwork. My stock is running very low right now, and where better to look than the OptiBoard? :)

    Your older set does not have to be complete to be of interest to me. In fact, that might even be better, so that I don't end up ruining a set with great value to a collector. Here's a small image of some of the styles that I use: I don't mind frosted panels or a bit of corrosion, I just can't use anything that's too new.





    So, how about it? Anyone have an older set lying around that you collected once upon a time, and now you can't remember why? :)

    Thanks! Can't make jewelry or art out of compliments, but I sometimes make it because of compliments! LOL!!

    Thanks guys! I'm aware of all the sets available on eBay, and in fact I'm tracking a couple of them... The smaller lots are not enough (I'm greedy!). I posted here to find other sources :) My mistake: I should have stated that I'm already an eBay lurker.
