War time engineering/ flying goggles Raf

Dearest internet,

I hope this message finds you well.

We've come across a curious bit of equipment which we were told was used to press the brass frames for goggles used by the RAF/flying squad during the war.

Antique goggle press

My questions are as follows-
Who would have manufactured the goggles?
Is this press what we believe it to be?
Was there a particular area or company strongly associated to goggles?
How did it work?
Would a museum be interested in it?
In fact, any info available on the subject would be useful at this stage.

It weights at least 20 stone / 125kg and is constructed entirely from cast iron.
It's roughly 50cm tall and around 30cm both wide and deep.

Thank you,
Internetter/junk collector
