    I like the picture of a bunch of lenses in a trash can. Shows you care when you take the time to arrange it just so!

    Ah, hahahahaha!!! I bet it all smells just a little bit. I would like the cat-eye frames in pic #4, though.

    The first pic looks like it was set up for a garage sale, like it's in someone's driveway. I wonder what the garage sale lookey-loos thought of all those uncut lenses??

    A lack of planning on your part DOES NOT constitute an emergency on mine!

    Actually I can remember loose uncut glass lenses being in 40 gal. drums when I worked at Modern Optics. These were seconds (I think this means rejects) which we sold in this form to Dal-Tex.

    I had a friend years ago who made windchimes from old glass lenses. Perhaps there's a "crafty" person out there who could try this.

    I worked with a girl who made all her Christmas presents out of old lens blanks. Made some patterns and edged them into x-mas shapes. Drilled a whole, put some wire through, and gave them away as tree ornaments.

    This is what I've suggested patients do with their old lenses when I offer them back. Drill a hole, slip some wire through, and make Christmas ornaments or even earrings. I've not seen anyone do it, though. Hmmmmm. . . (my wheels are turning now)

    One year I was cleaning out a bunch of junk at an office and found about 200 safilo patterns that would never be used, so I made them into a necklace for my then one year old. She played with it for about a week. At the time that was average longevity for most toys.

    Hey now I said nothing at all of becoming rich....just tossed out the question as to how much is it really worth? The gold alone may only net you $30. If you look at it on Ebay it has only had a bid of $1.25

    Is it just me, or is this a little vague??

    New other (see details): A new, unused item with absolutely no signs of wear. The item may be missing the original packaging, or in the original packaging but not sealed. The item may be a factory second or a new, unused item with defects. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections.
