Bits and bobs... optical



Hello friends! I'm glad to say I survived my manic week at work and now have a couple of days off. So, it's time for Bits and bobs!

This time I have photographed my collection of vintage optical pieces. If  I had to guess, I'd say most of these bits date from around the 1940's. The majority came from a set I purchased a couple of years ago and came from USA, complete with photos of the optometrist and all the charts. A nice piece of history.

Well, I hope some of you can join in this week. I was so pleased to see that last time you popped around and visited each others' blogs. I for one am really looking forward to seeing some of your Bits and bobs!

  6. I must collect stuff. I must. I get so envy when I see other people's collections. Maybe I can put together something among my clutter. There must be something matching, or with a theme.

  9. These are great, and reminded my to book in for an annual check up, I can just hear it now, "is it clearer in the red or the green" (never looks any different to me.
    Sorry I didn't play this week, although I had a long weekend it ended up being busier than I thought and yesterday was a bit overwhelming. I hope to play next time, hope you enjoy your days off after such a manic week!
