OT: Remember those X-Ray Vision Glasses from the 50's?

I was just browsing the 'net and ran across a picture of those old X-Ray
glasses they used to advertize in the back of magazines for 50 cents or
so back in the 1950's. Remember, they appeared to be made of cardboard,
shaped and printed like a pair of glasses, and usually had spiral designs
on the 'lenses', with a small hole in the center. I always new they were
fake and never bought a pair, though now I wish I had, for my curiosity
keeps bugging me every time I see one of those old photos. Has anybody
here ever seen them? Were they what I described above from the photo, or
did they have any type of lens or optical effect? I'm betting just a
pinhole in the cardboard.
The importance of this could hardly be less, but a strong, unsatisfied
curiosity can be a worrisome thing. :-)
