Berkshire dust goggles

Berkshire dust goggles model of stoco goggles from 1915. Made by Standard Optical Company of Geneva, N.Y. (organized in 1893).

Berkshire  goggles were used when motoring in the open air vehicles of the time. There were 3 models shown in the motorist news from that time. See image.

This model is in grey leather with amber lenses. The clamp on the lens holder opens to allow for lens changes or even a prescription lens.

Another possible “steam punk” item for those so inclined.
