Hi, I'm thinning out some of my late grandfather's eclectic collection. He wasn't a diver but he had an old pair of Squale goggles from the 1940s/50s among his things. I knew a little but found some more info on this board about them (from the Avalon Museum).
They appear complete but have some drying/cracking on the strap and seals around the glass. The eye-cup rubber is still soft.
I'm open to any offers on these. I can also post add'l pics.

Thanks

Just for information, there are several pairs on display in the online Frédéric Dumas Museum at Sanary-sur-mer in France, where the Squale company was headquartered:     DRW PS. I'm hoping that my latest edit to the museum picture links will keep the images visible. The pictures kept disappearing when I used the previous direct links! |

Looks very Steampunk! Brilliant! Looks like a style of headgear Willy Wonka might consider wearing:  |
