Hello,
Just noticed a set of 12 safari glasses for sale on Ebay, 6 large and 6 smaller ones. I'm alright for glasses but I know people look for them ocassionally on these boards so here's the item number (sorry - I don't know how to post a link or anything technical!)
Item number: 330440728667. The auction has about 5 days to run and is currently at 99p with no bids.

Good spot Kelly - It didn't come up on my ebay search because the vendors haven't included the word Caravan in the description.

Hi all, I recently bought a set of six glasses off ebay, thought I was getting a bargain (paid £14 for them) until they arrived - they look like they've been a cheap set that someone's bought and etched themselves! Does anyone know if they're meant to be like this? Can't find any pics anywhere to compare them. Cheers, Sally

Sally Don't worry, the engraving on Safari glasses was very poor quality. This is a typical example. The glasses were also very cheap, I remember collecting plain ones from petrol stations in the 70's and I think Safari got theirs from the same source! It probably accounts for the number of different sizes and shapes I have come across. I missed the set of 12 on ebay by only a few minutes having been out all day. Never mind - I have a full set and several spares already. But someone got a bargain if they went for the 99p top bid.

saw 2 glasses with safari on them at a car boot sale a year ago but thought they looked like fakes so never bought them

Hi Daisy, welcome to the forum. Sorry to say that the glasses could very well have been original. I bought a set off ebay a little while ago and was a little concerned when they arrived due to the poor quality but Brian (the Administrator of this forum) said they were all made like this. He has posted a photo in the 'glasses' thread, take a look and see if they are similar to the ones you saw. Sally
