Looking for a particular pair of goggles, original or repro

[Fearless Tower]

Does anyone know where I can find a pair of vintage goggles like Lindy is wearing in this photo?

I was looking at a pair at the NASM recently and they will fit over eyeglasses which would be nice for the biplane flying I've been doing lately. I have a pair of goggles from Gibson and Barnes, but they are a bit big and awkward.

Sad thing is, I used to have a pair of these when I was a kid ( from a surplus store), but that was 30 years ago.

Willson goggles work great with glasses and are the correct vintage.

These have a 'face gasket' missing in the originals.

Back in the early 70's, we found an aviation warehouse box of 100 of these goggles, New Old Stock, in their original (simulated leather textured), boxes. They were vintage items at THAT time. We kept 25 and we wholesaled the rest to WagAero, I think they even used the same exact photo that you show, above, in their own ads in their catalogue, and called them "Lindbergh Goggles." We sold them for the past 40 years, and this is the last two pair of goggles I have here. A small portion of them were tinted "sun-goggles." This last pair of Tinted goggles, shown here, have a bit crazing around the outer edges, but I just put them on, and you do not see any of it when wearing them. The lenses on the clear ones are clean. They have a bunch of air holes, in the leather, around the outer rear pieces. $125 each postpaid.
