Firefighting Helmet

By pamelajean
Another museum piece, this time in Alton, Hampshire.

Some close detail from a British Fire Brigade helmet, an iconic symbol designed to be lightweight, well ventilated and constructed in sections so it could be easily repaired. It was in continuous use from 1868 until 1938, making it the longest serving helmet in Brigade history.

There was very little colour, so I’ve presented it in black and white.

Grateful thanks to those of you who were interested enough in my Horsepower post to leave your kind votes, comments and awards.

Pamela.

Wonderfully tactile, I am imagining how many hands have smoothed the metal.

I think you were right in concentrating on a detail, instead of the entire helmet, more interesting! I thought on first viewing, it looked a tortoise!
