    Vintage Eyewear

    Hi,
    I am looking for vintage eyewear in bulk. If anyone knows how I can go about buying vintage frames in bulk please let me know. Or if anyone knows of pickers throughout US or Canada that I could get in touch with.
    thanks!

    Fabulous Fannies in New York has a lot of vintage, maybe the owners can point you in the right direction.

    Be very careful with some vintage frames where the plasticizers dry out and the frame breaks. I've had some kids think they were cool in these 50+ year old frames only to have me tell them the risk involved in removal and insertion is very high.

    They often paid a fair amount for them.
