These Minerva glasses were among the very first pairs bought at the "Waterlooplein" flea market in my native Amsterdam. The perfect hunting ground for a student with only coppers and brass in his pocket. This frame was immensely popular during the early 1960's. Nowadays people believe that the classic cat eye era was all about extravagant Dame Edna glasses. False memories.... In reality, money was scarce and glasses were more expensive than they are nowadays. Very few women could afford more than one pair and they kept wearing it as long as possible.
