JFK's Wayfarer Sunglasses!

Saw a house was throwing out a ton of junk last night. Grabbed 5 or 6 bags and after sorting through the junk I found this amazing piece of historic eyewear. In like new condition a pair of 1950's Wayfarer American Optical Saratoga "CN 25T-51 BLK" sunglasses, the same kind popularized by President John F. Kennedy. After cleaning off the dust I discovered them to be in immaculate condition! Probably very rarely worn by the last owner. Saw the same model for sale on Ebay for $380! What a score! I think I'll keep them and wear them in the summer

When the ground is frozen and the snow depth up to the hips (like here), treasure hunting needs to change. We are adaptable. Congrats on the awesome find!

great find - I often take the whole trash bag with me - particularly if its small junk drawer kind of stuff - all the little heavy (i.e. good) items fall to the very bottom - what else did you find in there(?)

Just to clarify, this was from going through someone's trash?
