The Pulmosan Fumeguard Mask No. 1600J was made of black molded rubber with two narrow eyepieces. It had a flutter valve hanging down from the nose, and a large threaded port to accommodate the filter. The facepiece was made by Acushnet in 1940, and sold by Pulmosan Safety Equipment Corp. with Type FMA Canister for Organic Vapors.
