Charles Gunther's Snow GogglesWorn to prevent snow blindness.
"These goggles came to the museum from the collection of Charles Gunther, a German immigrant, successful candy maker, and collector of historical and anthropological artifacts. "Over many years, he amassed a spectacular assortment of artifacts, ranging from the significant (the bed on which Abraham Lincoln died) to the fantastical (the skin of the serpent from the Garden of Eden). "He operated a private museum above his candy store, and it's possible that these goggles were on display there. When Gunther died in 1920, the museum purchased a large portion of his collection." - See also: CHS Treasure Trove Came From Little-Known Gunther. - And here's Styx doing "Snowblind." - Posted on November 15, 2017 |
