In the house where I grew up, the attic was filled with all kinds of great old stuff, including a WWII gas mask. . . I wanted to keep that in particular, but the whole lot was traded for desperately needed remodelling. . . *sigh*

They're safety glasses. . .my brother brought some home from Jr. High shop class. I must have been 5 years old at the time and I LOVED to wear them all of the time!!! Yup. . . uber-nerd at 5, and uber-nerd today!
