Fun with goggles!

Okay, so I've been collecting some old antique Bakelite goggles and they're SO much fun to play with.

Etsy! Etsy Etsy Etsy...the people on eBay are all looking at each other's prices and jacking them higher, but the "vintage" designation on Etsy is new and the people there are also new at i, so, flea market prices instead of collector's prices.

Here's a listing I ignored 'cause I have enough already...go snatch 'em before anyone else does!

Or this:

...and these are just like my pair with real Bakelite, but with dark lenses (the new repro lenses will fit as replacements) and only $24! He calls them "welding" but they are actually old driving/aviation goggles:
