This is a pair of 'spectacles' (blinkers really) designed for hens in 1951 to stop them pecking each other. They were featured in a British Pathe film that year in use on a farm in Spalding, Lincolnshire. The film is regularly played on our gallery and this museum would absolutely love to acquire an example. Are they on offer? You can view the film online at http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=47123 Neil Handley, MA, AMA Curator, British Optical Association Museum The College of Optometrists 42 Craven Street, London WC2N 5NG Tel: 020 7766 4353 (Direct) Tel: 020 7839 6000 (Switchboard) Fax: 020 7839 6800 Email: [log in to unmask] Web: http://www.college-optometrists.org/museum > -----Original Message----- > From: Social History Curators Group email list [mailto:SHCG- > [log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Hill, Micahla > Sent: 23 March 2011 10:52 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [SHCG-LIST] Object identification query 'Ormskirk Dewdrop' > > This is an email sent via the SHCG List.
