They did, according to the article (warning, graphic injuries), but an expert dismissed the idea because turtlesâ mouths arenât that big. The consensus seems to be that a muskie is the most probable suspect.
Nah, theyâre a more recent recreation. Materials back then were such that the frames had to be thicker all around. Ask me how I know!
Sorry my writing was so unclear. I donât think those glasses are older than I am, but they are 50s/60s style. Even my Grandpapa had a pair like that.
ETA: Dâoh! Meant to add, âYes, Iâm curious - what is your expertise in this field?â
Aw, and here Iâd assumed sheâd say something about our being the 1st generation w/access to hyper-processed, plastic food w/tons of preservatives our entire lives.
I thought it was going to be about how those women went through the Great Depression & WWII.
⊠I thought the obvious answer to âwhy do middle-aged people in old photos look so oldâ was smoking is really really really bad for you
OMG Thank You! What an idiot I am for not thinking of that, and me an empath and all!
My expertise is wearing glasses since about 1965!
Grandpapa also had a pair of octagonal wire-framed cheaters. I found them in a drawer long after he died. Never saw him wearing them.
I hope to find something similar next time I get glasses: they were wonderful.
LOL No He was wonderful.
I am digginâ those silver frames; Grandpapaâs were gold.
Saw some of hexagonal whilst looking at glasses. I think it was these
The chunkier rims look interesting too
Not exactly octagonal, bit rounded
These are great!!!
