I still have a handful novelties I collected over my misspent youth, but only one miraculously still had the box it came in. So please enjoy the retro graphic goodness of the Twinkling Eyes...

And now compare it to the only other picture of Twinkling Eyes I can find on the Internet...There's something extra strange about the pair of Twinkling Eyes I own. The lenticular eyes in my pair are in backwards. Check it out again...
You see the eyes are backwards. I had noticed this years ago, but since I didn't have any other Twinkling Eyes to compare it too I thought the eyes were intentionally backwards for extra goofiness.
Like that super valuable stamp of the upside-down airplane, I wonder if my Twinkling Eyes glasses would sell for a bundle at auction.

Hello David W: I'm a physical comedian, and I'm seeking ANY twinkling eyes novelty glasses of the sort you show on your wonderful site. I don't actually need or use the twinkling eye -- it's the vintage glasses frames -- or toy frames that I need and depend on. Is there any guidance you have -- any sets of frames, or twinkling eye sets that I might be able to purchase from you at an affordable price . .? Any conversation to be had . .? Much appreciate any help or any thoughts . . . Bill Irwin
Hoping this link might show you the look I'm seeking to continue -- hope it may open for you:
