The Archer Goggles found

[rsaffle]

Art Carney, guest-starred as the villain The Archer in two episodes of the 1966 Batman TV series, "Shoot a Crooked Arrow" and "Walk the Straight and Narrow". Archer & his henchmen wore protective eyewear goggles. I found the original goggles used in those episodes.

Vintage Paulson Bubble Goggles in red. The original items are considered nostalgic, "throw-away" eye protectors from the 60s and 70s. They were available in red, among a "rainbow of colors". The price for them can be high. I found some listed on Ebay and Etsy in the 65$ and up range.
Racers like Dale Eanhardt wore them. Looks like they used a red lens pair and painted most of it white leaving the horizontal slit.

I found them as I was researching images to try and make a pair. At first, I was unsure but looking closely you can see the air vents along the edges that match up. It's always interesting to find the donor prop because small details like the air holes get missed all the time in prop replicas.

Randy, I’m sure you already found this, since you did the hard part and identified the goggles. The company is still in business. Those goggles were intended to be safety wear, but originally marketed as a Kellogg’s cereal promotional item for Tom Corbett Space Cadet!

The Tom Corbett ones have a tab that runs along the top identifying them.

Someone found that in Star Trek "The Cage" episode the same or similar type goggles were used and he created a pair adding the white rubber rim!

I saw those in a recent auction and wondered about them. A buddy of mine has had a pair in his collection for years and if i remember correctly they were just styrene vacuumed formed, (Don't know what the Donor buck was made from, Toy?) and a slit cut out with a red jell sheet pasted on the inside. Very thin just like a Halloween mask. And of course an 8 x 10 Art Carney signed of him wearing them. So i had wondered about the pair in auction, sort of the same but different. Seems like buying one donor pair and vacuuming them would be the least expensive route to go. Also no need to paint them.

By coincidence, my Facebook feed just served up a shot of Vincent Price (and co-star) in those goggles. It's a scene from The Fly, immediately preceding the reveal of the titular insect-man.

I KNEW I had seen them somewhere else! I thought the Man from U.N.C.L.E. double-episode-turned-movie “The Spy with My Face,” but they used a different set of ski goggles in that.

Always enjoyed those Vincent Price movies. I introduced my son to a whole bunch of them a couple of summers back, even including the Dr. Goldfoot movies (the “Girl Bombs” sure does - it’s a real stinker).
