Vintage Deco Wilson Bakelite? Welding Goggles w Tin Steampunk Motorcycle Aviator

Description

This listing is for a pair of Vintage Deco Welding, Motorcycle or Aviator Goggles by Wilson, in the original tin box.
The material is brown and may be Bakelite or plastic, though we're not certain.
The sides are covered with perforated metal panels, riveted on, to allow ventilation and the lenses are removable for cleaning or replacement.
In good vintage condition, with scuffs, scratches or marks. The elastic strap has stretched and is marked Glendale and the rubber nose-piece has hardened with age. With the dark lenses (not included) removed there's some play available for the clear cover plates, so you might want to add an O-ring on each side. The material is brown and may be Bakelite or plastic, though we're not certain. There's some surface corrosion to the tin - please see pics. Mannequin head pictured is not included.
These are a beautiful pair of vintage goggles, among the nicest on the market and a great gift - don't let them get away!
