/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

See those little eyepieces? Between being /fa/-grade "different" and generally antiquated, they're far enough off the map that when I go to an eyewear store my inquiries only produce confused staff. What kinds of specialty shops do you think I should be checking? Second-hand places turned up nothing.

Online places are easily $100 and up. I don't need a legitimate vintage pince-nez, in fact most aren't these tiny circular variety or low-bridged, ideal for my Negi Springfield. I'm not sure how to build a fake pair, though, even for a one-night prop. Should I try finding a guide for such a thing?

In the meantime I'm eyeing a few ebays, some UK sellers seem to have them for $20-30, but I'd prefer a properly examined pair from a shop or such.

I don't know why I'm even trying this hard, when I'm totally going to cop out on the wizard's staff.
