An authentic pair of early 20th-century Willson Service Goggles, Style E, presented with its original metal storage case.
Featuring amber-tinted protective lenses, fine wire mesh side shields, original fabric cushioning, and lightweight metal construction, these goggles represent an important era in American industrial safety equipment. The original case retains its printed instruction label and references the 1915 and 1918 patent dates associated with the design.
Originally intended for industrial, railroad, workshop, and manufacturing environments, these goggles today make an exceptional display piece for collectors of industrial artifacts, early safety equipment, steampunk décor, railroad memorabilia, and American manufacturing history.
The warm amber lenses, aged metal finish, and honest period wear create a striking visual presence whether displayed in a library, office, workshop, or curated industrial interior.
A scarce surviving example complete with its original case.
