Default "Glasses" for the Annular Eclipse on May 20th

We live in the path of the eclipse, and a number of years ago I recall
buying simple special glasses from some place in S. Calif to observe the
sun. They were made from cardboard. Anyone have a clue what the
business was? I think they made a really good quality solar scope.

SASE and a dollar...

Now that I think about it, they weren't glasses. The filter was a
rectangular card. I want to buy maybe 24.
