One pair of goggles. The goggles have thick black rubber sides and round, light green lenses. A separate set of flip-up red lenses is attached to a center hinge above the nose. An adjustable green elastic head-strap is attached at the sides of the goggles. Flat, circular air ventilation baffles are also located on each side of the goggles just forward of head-strap attachment points. The goggles are contained in thin steel storage container that has a hinged top and a green exterior. An adhesive paper label on top of the lid has black printed text that shows "One Goggle Variable Density, Visor Attachment, Stock No. 74-G-79-40" and "American Optical Company, 3514." Printed product instructions are attached on the inside of the lid. Two spare red plastic visor filters are contained in paper envelopes in the bottom of the container marked: "Visor, Plastic, Red Goggle, Variable-Density Stock No. 74-V-3500, Contents: One Filter".
