I would like to find some period correct non-prescription reading glasses at a reasonable price. One source I had for them is always out of stock.
Hamilton Dry goods has had many in stock when I visited their "mobile" store at 3 of the NCOWS National Shoots in Evansville. I bought a pair for $25, as I recall. The ones I bought were 1.5 as I recall, but they had 15 to 20 others of different strengths at the time.
Bowiemaker, did anyone contact Fall Creek Suttlery? (Their spelling, not mine) I know they bill themselves as Civil (or as I call it,
UnCivil) War sutlers, but they have a LOT of other things besides just CW uniforms & accessories, and their prices on guns and stuff are excellent. Since they probably can't sell cartridge (FFL type) guns in KY, they would have to make arrangements with
your FFL, but I'll bet Andy Fulks (Owner) might be able to do SOMETHING. Besides, I'm not sure, but he MIGHT be able to sell C&B guns - but don't quote me as saying he CAN/WILL. They are great folks to do business with!! (They have
gotten captured a LOT of my money over the last decade!)
