Rare WWI Cold Weather or High Altitude Aviator's Goggles Worn by USN Pilots & Bomber Crews

This is a rare pair of cold weather/high altitude aviator's goggles used both by United States Navy pilots as well as bomber crews flying over the North Sea. The goggles are fur lined and have a continuation rather than a cut-out of the leather mask portion to cover the wearer's nose.

Circa World War I.

Approximately 6" in length and 2" in height (across lenses only, lying flat).

Glass, leather, fur, elasticized cotton, nickeled brass.

Strap, buckles.

None.

This is from a United States Navy aviator personal gear collection that we will be listing more of over the next few months. CON-JMB-50-13 VEGEX9/13 SEJJX10/13

6- (Fine): The goggles have some discoloration to the left lens; some holes/worn areas in cloth on side of lenses; strap is fragile, but still intact.

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