What's It?


If I asked you what this is, would you know?

What about this one?
Okay, this one is a dead giveaway!
These are my latest obsession, vintage eyeglass holders. 
You don't see them too often, it's difficult to find any research material on them, so I had to wing it.  In all my travels, I've only found two more that weren't vintage but handmade in a ceramic class or something.  Don't get me wrong, they were cute, but just not quite me, the vintage ones are!

BOLO for poodles!  I want a gray and a pink poodle for my collection!  Must be vintage!  Most likely from Chadwick and marked Japan (NOT Made in Japan which dates them before the late sixties).
HAND!

  2. What a cool thing to collect! I've seen a few of these around at flea markets and stuff.

    The owl one is really cool!

  3. I just sold one at a friends sale, you know the friend :)
    But it was a fairly new one so don't fret!

    I will have Mr. B keep his eyes open for them, he is a great picker...

  4. I would have these all around my house holding my readers, but I would probably still lose them. These are cute, I don't think I have ever seen them either, will have to keep an eye out for them
