Product code: Vintage-antique Wilson top tinted safety/motorcycle goggles
Fantastic vintage safety or motorcycle goggles with amber tinted lenses. Made by the iconic American company Willson and dating circa 1920's., possibly the 1910's or maybe even the turn of the century Dr. Thomas Willson and his father Giles Willson founded their optical lens company in 1871 in Pennsylvania. Beyond their optical lenses for glasses, they started to develop safety tools for factory workers and miners who were working in extremely hazardous conditions at the time. The goggles have perforated metal wind screens/protectors on the outer sides which are hinged to fold in for storage. The flexible coiled wire arms mean they can accommodate most heads. These are the original amber tinted glass top lenses.
