Vintage Cairns Firefighter Helmet New York 1930s

Description

Early 1930s Cairns aluminum Senator firefighter helmet. This helmet has a New York medallion in the crown and a double rivet D ring which dates it to the 1930s or earlier. The helmet has a very unique metal painted front. The front appears to be original to the helmet as custom made by the firefighter. It has some paint flaking and looks to have been possibly clear coated at one time to stop the paint from flaking. It does appear original to the helmet as the screws and hardware used to attach the front are age appropriate and original. Awesome Cairns helmet that displays great for any firefighting memorabilia collector. Please inquire if have any concerns or questions.
