Felix Havoc and I have talked about having some of these glasses made up, but we can't find a pair to make the prototype mold from.

The scan doesn't seem to be working, it's coming out too dark and blurry. I'll have to try getting a real pic of them. While I was looking at them, they did seem to remind me of the ones that Ray Davies of the Kinks wore back in his new wave stage ("Giv
