Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don't include a selection, you forfeit the prize, okay? May we suggest the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-Shirt and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?

Update: Steve Pauk was the first one to know these are sniper's glasses; they were specifically made for the sharpshooters of the Civil War. However, he did not select a t-shirt. The funniest answer came from Randall: "Eye training glasses, for G-men in the 30's. They helped develop that penetrating gaze that made the two-bit punks squirm like a toad in a vice while they were getting 'the treatment.'" Randall wins a t-shirt from the NeatoShop!

Invented in 1756 by Benjamin Martin, these were basically the first sunglasses.
They were patented in 1839 by Charles Jachan who wrote "The object of my invention is to protect the eye from too strong a light as much as possible, and this I effect by leaving only a small portion of the surface of the glasses polished and surrounding it with a ground space extending to the circumference or outside rim, intended to obstruct the passage of the rays of light and soften their effect upon the eye, leaving that portion opposite the pupil a small clear circular space."
