These safety glasses from the 30s were in the bottom of a box I bought. Lenses are really speckled from grinding, Wanted to snap this in front of a machinist box, but that is too deeply buried. What do you think?
Neat!
Hah, I'm surprised that safety glasses even existed back then! None of the machinists in the old photographs I have are wearing glasses. It's funny/sad, there are pictures of guys snagging castings, white hot sparks flying everywhere, and all they have on their face is a squint.
Cool old set of glasses though. I'll bet the steampunk crowd would pay you big money for them.
