JK had a 18 comb FDNY helmet, here is a Cairns & Bros "Rare 19 Rib Cage comb" helmet. Never saw one like this before.

Frontpieces honoring our Vets this Memorial Day...thoughts and prayers for those who sacrificed for our freedom. Freedom does not come free!
This one for JK and his Marine Corps Vets:

This frontpiece in honor of Army...my son served with the "Big Red One" in Iraq, and awarded the "Combat Infantry Badge". Now a NYPD Police Officer.

And Honoring our Air Force, Navy and all.

Below is a lid design that could be considered part of a "summer uniform", perhaps a lid for tropic firefighters or even stylish for Amish firefighters...heck, maybe Willy could use one in his garden...check it out...

"heck, maybe Willy could use one in his garden"  :)

Dan, maybe not in the garden, BUT the "Buff Mobile" sure needs a good hosing down.

Vintage San Fransisco lid with distinguished markings of a truck company firefighter. This color combo remained as a tradition.
