Han Solo Welding Goggles

[turok96]

Hey Gang,

Does anyone know what type of goggles Solo has on in this photo? And are they still available today?

Thanks

Closest I found were Wilsons. Never found an exact match though.

Thanks KB, your help is appreciated. Anyone else have some info on these, or how about a better screen cap from the dvd, I got the pic from the net.

If I remember correctly, this topic pops up ever so often (once a year or so). To the best of my recollection, no one has ever tracked down the originals with certainty.

Sooner or later the correct identification will come up. It just doen't hurt to find out, but one of these days.

Any update on the goggles? I still have not found the correct ones yet.

Its been a few years but after doing some searching, this pair sold on ebay UK 3 years ago. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-welding-goggles-original-1779328245 Unfortunately hardly any information about them but i'm pretty sure they are identical to Han's pair (after seeing them at the recent Prop Store auction!). The search continues...

I think they're called Bocal Goggles, if that helps?

Who's looking for em?

 

[shoeben82]

From the recent Prop-store auction.

Sold for £23,370! https://propstoreauction.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/138/lot/28640/
Yes Bocal (or BOC as they are niw) looks like the accurate brand and as there is a British Standard number on the side, they must be a British make.

I think Bocal is the type? I've seen various manufacturers: BOC or Starcrest for example.
