Willson Leather Safety Motorcycle Goggles
Vintage Willson leather goggles started life as safety goggles back in the 1930s but today they are used primarily to look super cool and retro riding motorcycles and for other active outdoor pursuits. This very rare and early version combines leather with the metal frame to produce a look that is as distinctive today as it was when first produced, and the ear stems wrap behind the ears to provide the most secure fit possible. Thomas A. Willson was the World’s preeminent maker of safety eyewear in the early 20th century, founded in 1871 to manufacture optical glass but then as American industry burgeoned the company began making safety eyewear and eventually produced a wide variety of products ranging from oxygen masks to fashion sunglasses.The unisex Willson frame measures approximately 5.675" temple to temple, and the green Shade #3 crystal lenses measure approximately 1.875" in diameter with both lenses laser etched at the top center with the Willson trademark. The front of the leather is embossed Willson along with the 2 unique patent numbers. Very rare.
