Bell System Vintage Aluminum Goggles Case towel pewter shell game Made of copperThis vintage aluminum Bell System Goggles case, c. 1940s 50s, is terrific looking and super cool. It once would have held a pair of safety goggles, I imagine used by technicians working for the telephone company. The case reminds me of a bit of a submarine, somehow calling Jules Verne to mind, and also of a blimp, and it's got a great, satisfying snap closure that adds to the feeling that this is an indestructible thing! Perfect for carrying swimming
