Early WWII Pair of US Military Aviator Goggles Type AN-6530 with Early Tube Type Vents

This is a circa early World War II pair of United States military aviator goggles Type AN-6530. The goggles have early tube-type vents on either side and are marked AN-6530 on the bridge. The lenses are fixed in place with a foam frame but the hinged bridge is able to flex slightly. Used by the Army, Navy and Air Force during WWII, the goggles were produced by only two manufacturers: Chas Fischer Spring Co. and American Optical. This was upstaged in 1944 by the B-8 goggle, making this an item that was used only a short time.

Circa early World War II.

Main section of goggles: approximately 2-7/8" in height and 6-1/8" in width; strap is adjustable measuring approximately 18"+.

Glass, nickel-plated brass, steel, rubber foam, elasticized cotton strap.

Strap with buckle, hook at sides.

7 (Very Fine): The goggles have some spots of light to medium wear to the frames; foam is intact and strap is still pliable.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
