The Set Includes:

1. Folding Auto Goggles c.1910s

Teardrop amber celluloid lenses, steel frames, original wool face seal, elastic strap. Folds at bridge for pocket carry. Celluloid shows age bubbling — expected and proves authenticity. No cracks through lenses.

2. Original Cardboard Box

Period case for the goggles. Rough but authentic. Wear commensurate with age.

3. CYKO Real Photo Postcard c.1908-1917

RPPC showing early open touring car/roadster wrecked on railroad tracks. CYKO stamp box on back confirms date. “Disaster” and “accident” postcards were popular novelties. Creased and curled but image is clear. A standout piece of early Americana.

Historical Context:

Before windshields and safety glass, goggles were essential. Drivers on dirt tracks and open roads faced dust, oil, and debris. This set tells that story — the goggles a driver wore, and a photo of the real dangers they faced. The car appears to be a 1908-1915 Ford Model T or similar.

Perfect For: Automobilia collectors, racing history, Ford Model T buffs, RPPC collectors, disaster postcard collectors, man cave/garage decor, museum display.

Note: Celluloid and 100-yr paper are fragile. No returns due to further age deterioration in transit. What you see is what you get.

100% Authentic: Guaranteed original pre-1920 items. Not reproductions.
