have never seen (in 40 years) that symbol in any music I have conducted
Well you wouldn't, would you? since it A) has no place in the *score* of anything and B) is normally handwritten in the part, not printed by a publisher.
I've never seen the eyeglasses in any published score I've ever looked at (thousands of them!) either, but have had occasion myself to pencil it into a part every third or fourth concert I play--and see numerous examples of it already entered into my part by previous users.
