  • A novelty item, X-Ray Spex were marketed as allowing people to see through anything, including clothing. In reality, they were made of layers of cheap cardboard with a feather inside: if someone looked through them at their hand, the tracery of the feather appeared superimposed on the hand, reminiscent of bones.
