ARTIFACT:
This is a World War II United States Army Air Forces / United States Navy Type AN-6530 Aviator Goggles Mid war Streamlined Vent.The goggles have early streamlined vents on either side and are marked AN-6530 on the bridge.

Used by the Army, Navy and Air Force during WWII, the goggles were produced by only two manufacturers: Chas Fischer Spring Co. and American Optical.
