WW2 British Home Front Splinter Goggles.
The Spirit of the Blitz with these WW2 British Home Front Splinter Goggles, a fine specimen of the fixed bridge pattern complete with its original strap, although regrettably the foam which made it more comfortable to wear is no longer present.
Reminiscent of the iconic Lee Miller picture of a brave young Civil Defence woman wearing them in London during WW2.
The design features a distinctive round central piece that could be pulled down during an air raid to shield the eyes from flying debris.
Conversely, lifting up provided clearer vision once the raid subsided.
This piece serves as a powerful statement and a poignant reminder of the daily dangers faced by the heroes of the Home Front.
