Antique Leather Cairns & Bro Firefighters Helmet w RARE Fox Finial For Sale

Antique Cairns & Bro Leather Firefighters Ventilator Helmet circa 1890\'s to 1919.  The helmet has its original foundry date of 1867 painted on the back and also has most of its original gold/gilded paint still present along the ribs.  This is a very nice untouched Cairns & Bro fire helmet with its original lining and has both of its original brass Cairns & Bro makers tags. The Fox is also signed but is hard to read. I can only make out N.Y. on it. The original leather station badge is missing but doesn\'t take away from the overall look. Possibly from Hampden P.A. The rarity of the Fox finial makes up for it.  The leather has a few cracks but not damaged or all the way through. I just want to mention the overall condition. The Fox Finial is nice and solid but does have a little side to side play.  The helmet will be shipped double boxed and fully insured. Please check out my response ratings and buy with confidence. 100% money back guarantee.
