A tenuous connection to BATMAN to be sure - and can they accurately be called specs when they have no glass to enable the wearer to see? Ah, but what about X-Ray Specs you ask - they had no glass either. True, but they did enable the wearer to 'see' things differently, and at least they looked like specs. Anyway, I'm sure I had a pair of the above 'specs' when I was a kid. Did any of the rest of you? Do tell in the CS.
Never saw these before. But then, there was so much Batman merchandise in 1966-67, it would have been easy to overlook some of it.
ReplyDeleteIt's always possible that they were only sold in Britain, TC, which might explain why you never saw them.
ReplyDeleteI am STILL interested in purchasing a pair of X-Ray Specs that really work!
ReplyDeleteFor purely scientific reasons, of course!
Yeah kid I had a pair of them in 66 got them from Woolworths I think. Thought I looked really cool in them at the time oh the folly of youth
ReplyDeleteI think we'd all be interested in a pair like that, JP. Let me know if you ever find them.

You're telling me, S. I had a homemade Batman costume that really sucked, but I thought I was the real deal.
Hey my mom had to make me a homemade Batman cape. I still have the photo.
ReplyDeleteMy Batman cape was a black raincoat with the sleeves pulled outside in, PS. What's worse is it had a checked lining.
