    Antique trial frame!

    This is an antique trial frame from Curry and Paxton, London.

    I have never seen one like it.

    I am trying to concentrate on antique spectacles, not antique Optometry stuff.

    This got to go!

    $65 shipped.

    C'mon Mick! Are you really expecting the Optiboard world to believe that you're from a place called Cowtown, Texas, and you can't find one of these there? Heck, you're local OD is probably still using one just like it! Ask him (I'm sure there are no female ODs in Cowtown...just saloon gals) if he's got an extry (that's Fester speak in case you didn't recognize it) set laying around

    Yes Johns, there is a place called "Cowtown" Texas. It used to be Cowstown when they had more than one cow. Cowtown is now even smaller than Onehorsetown!

    See...that's my point! Wait till electricity gets there, and Mick will be able to pick up all the antiques he needs - close to home.

    Even if it's not available, do you have any more pictures of it from different angles? Do you have any photos of anyone wearing them? Do they only come in one color? Does that include shipping? Can I pick it up? Are you firm on the price? Would you trade for some Q-tips?

    Yes, the sandstone is still available. ( I just got back from Cowtown and snuck it out of Mick's creek). I have a picture of it at a different angle than I found it (below). No photo's of anyone wearing it, though Flavor Flav is rumored to want to make a necklace out of it. I can paint it any color that you could want, as long as it's red. I will include the shipping into the price. I'm not sure if you can pick it up since you injured yourself. Can you pick up 5 pounds? Yes, I'm firm, so is the price. I will be willing to negotiate a trade for Q-Tips as long as we are discussing semi-truck loads. ( Oh, you'll need to include a list of stores that will buy Q-Tips from me.)
