On February 27, 1980, the long-lost glasses of rock pioneer Buddy Holly—missing since the fatal 1959 plane crash that killed him—were discovered filed away inside a sealed envelope in a court clerk’s office in Mason City, Iowa, according to the History Channel.

For years, the glasses were presumed lost forever.
There they remained for 21 years.
On February 27, 1980, Sheriff Jerry Allen opened the envelope, bringing one of rock’s most iconic visual symbols back into public awareness. The glasses were eventually returned to Holly’s widow, María Elena Holly.
Before Buddy Holly, thick black glasses were hardly associated with cool. After him, they became a symbol of individuality—and, decades later, even a fashion statement.
