Hate to ask on this page, but someone posted within the last couple of years a great web site to buy glass eyes that were manufactured in this country. I have a need for a few sets. If anyone has that info and could relay the web site I'd appreciate it.

Thank you so much. Had to have my desktop HD stripped awhile ago and my bookmarks couldn't be saved.

It was Van Dykes Taxidermy, again thanks.
I bet you could make your own pretty easily and have some fun doing it. All you need is a mapp gas torch. Then, I'd buy some moretti rods in black, yellow and clear and then use some copper wire to wrap a bit of black around, then a little bit of yellow and then a big dollop of clear over it to form a lens. Fill a coffee can with vermiculite to act as a ghetto annealer to let it cool down slow.

I just did a little test. I successfully wrapped some glass around stainless through wire with a mapp gas torch. I don't think a class is needed with this... Just try it.
