Item Description

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 and a remarkable patina, although regrettably the foam is no longer present, on a specially made display stand.

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 the central piece 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.
