About Antique Fire Helmets

Leather fire helmets have been produced since the mid-1700s, in a variety of colors (to signify rank and assignment) and until the early 1900s they typically included a brass or leather ‘shield holder’ usually in the shape of an animal. Presentation helmets, given to firefighters upon retirement, were often the most ornate, and are therefore highly sought by collectors.
