Motoring and Flying Goggles

Two examples from a collection of vintage motoring and flying goggles. The goggles are from an original collection of 100 pairs of motoring and aviation goggles, each one different from the next, that formed the archive of the manufacturer Chr. Kraus & Co, covering the period circa 1900–1950. It appears that more recently the company, who were based in Fürth, Bavaria, Germany, went through some kind of upheaval/take-over and decided to sell the archive. The company now make eye protection safety goggles for industry.
