Description:

I have made this listing asdetailed as possible and may be a bit to read through. But don't fret, I willgladly answer any question you may have.Please ask any questions before you bid. I currently am working 15+ hour days, 7 days a week, away from home. I only do eBay as a hobby. So I ask for your patience in response. Thank you for your understanding. Listing is for 1 (one) 6-3/4" x 8" sheet, of your choice of one the pictures shown, per $25.00 purchase. Purchase as many as you'd like. Mix and match. I have condensed somelistings to have sheets that are priced the same. Each picture has a nameor number in the top right. If those numbers are in this listing YOUget to choose whichever you would like to receive. Please refer to thatwhen purchasing. Just go to the "send seller a message" and requestthe one(s) you want. I will ship out within 48 hours unless you buy on aweekend. Friday through Sunday will ship Monday. I have a few others in otherlistings, but do not have access to anything new, ONLY this vintage stock onhand. I have set the shipping to 5 days because some forget to let me knowtheir choice(s), and I have to ask several times. Which gives me a lateshipping mark. If you let me know when you order, they ship very quickly.Thanks Here are Tortoise Shell New Old Stock (no longer in production) original virgin raw plasticized cellulose acetate extruded sheets that were used to make sunglass frames and costume jewelry in the 50's through the 80's, maybe earlier. Imported from Italy. Manufactured by the world leader, founded in 1849, Mazzucchelli. These sheets are from their Tectonic line of acetate sheets. There are also some sheets from LAES called Optistyle 2000( Also produced in Italy). Th What can you do with these? There are virtually endless ideas. Put them in frames, special inlays, add some low temperature back lighting and you have some cool mood lighting for your bar at home. How about you bar / club owners? Use them above the dance floor, DJ booth? You can also heat these up and form them to whatever shape you want. Keep in mind that these have the characteristics similar to plexiglass but not as brittle.Unfortunately I do not have any eyeware equipment or known sources of any. Nor do I have a way to procure any new stock. Being this product is at least 25 years old, once this is gone, it is gone. Some are 4 mm(just over 5/32") and some 8 mm(appx. 5/16") thick. These sheets originally cost over $40 and up each. All sheets are 6-3/4 inches wide. I do have them available to cut from 8 inches up to 27 inches in length. Over 11 inches long have to be shipped different. If you want a full UNCUT 27 inch long sheet. Purchase 3 sheets for each full uncut sheet wanted. 1 - 2 uncut sheets usually cost around $14 to ship. So choose the $14 shipping option. MORE than that, you must contact me so I can calculate the shipping options for you before purchase. Auction is for 1 sheet 6-3/4" x 8" so you would bid by number wanted. Remember YOU get the color/pattern of your choice, that I have in stock in this listing. Refer to the name in the upper right of the pictures when placing your order. Please note that these are RAW extruded vintage stock, NOT a finished product and have been warehoused on pallets for over 25 years and some will have some light scratches and possible slight warpage. I will send a simple "how to" instruction sheet with your order for polishing, bending, and flattening. Special deal on the entire lot!!! And available locally. WARNING - there are over 800 (total) 1/3 sheets of all 6 different tortoise I have available. The 4 pictured in this listing are what you can choose from in this listing. I have 3 that are more scarce available, a little higher priced, inquire. I also have some solid colors and striped patterns not included at this price, See my other listing. And a couple of the more expensive colors/patterns. Inquire. I will send 1/3 sheets via US Postal Flat Rate because of weight. I can get 5 - 9 sheets in the envelope(depending on thickness), more than that will have be in the flat rate box. Note: These are not flimsy, they get heavier with the amount you want. They weigh 7oz. - 3 pounds each depending on thickness, and length. Now the technical stuff. Please be patient I do not do this for a living and have a young family.
