helmet with its distinctive long rear brim, frontpiece, and crest adornment was first developed around 1821-1836 in New York City. Henry T. Gratacap, a New York City luggage maker by trade, is often credited as the developer of this style of fire helmet. Gratacap created a specially treated leather helmet with a segmented \u00e2\u0080\u009ccomb\u00e2\u0080\u009d design that led to unparalleled durability and strength. The elongated rear brim (also known as a duckbill or beavertail) and frontpiece were 19th century innovations that remain the most identifiable feature of firefighter\u00e2\u0080\u0099s helmets. The body of the helmet was primarily designed to deflect falling debris, the rear brim prevented water from running down firefighters\u00e2\u0080\u0099 backs, and their sturdy crowns could aid, if necessary, in breaking windows."}, {"label": "Description", "content": "This leather fire helmet was made by Cairns & Brother of New York, New York in the second half of the 19th century. The helmet is painted black overall, its eight combs are painted gold, and a metal eagle frontpiece holder is mounted on the crown. There is a pressed ivy-vine design around the rim, and the date \u00e2\u0080\u009c1812\u00e2\u0080\u009d is painted in gold on the rear brim. The gold frontpiece reads \u00e2\u0080\u009cGLOBE / FIRE / 30 / COMPANY / RFR\u00e2\u0080\u009d in raised letters. \u00e2\u0080\u009cPresented to Wm. M. Kidd\u00e2\u0080\u009d is written on the hat\u00e2\u0080\u0099s inner band. It is likely that the helmet and frontpiece were not originally produced together. The Globe Fire Engine Company No. 30 of the Kensington District of Philadelphia was founded in 1820 as a hand engine company. It acquired a steam fire engine in 1863 and operated as steam fire engine company until 1871 when Philadelphia\u00e2\u0080\u0099s paid firefighting department was established."}, {"label": "Location", "content": "Currently not on view"}], "creditLine": [{"label": "Credit Line", "content": "Gift of CIGNA Museum and Art Collection"}], "name": [{"label": "maker", "content": "Cairns & Brother"}], "topic": [{"label": "subject", "content": "Fire Fighting"}], "place": [{"label": "place made", "content": "United States: New York"}], "physicalDescription": [{"label": "Physical Description", "content": "leather (overall material)"}, {"label": "Physical Description", "content": "brass (part: shield holder material)"}, {"label": "Physical Description", "content": "metal (part: wire brim material)"}, {"label": "Measurements", "content": "overall: 14 in x 10 3/4 in x 8 3/4 in; 35.56 cm x 27.305 cm x 22.225 cm"}], "dataSource": [{"label": "Data Source", "content": "National Museum of American History"}], "objectType": [{"label": "Object Name", "content": "helmet, fire"}]}}, "url": "edanmdm:nmah_1331053", "hash": "e0885b733869f68fc3887b14073bf8962e77ed71", "docSignature": "7fdd034b37577f1f5aa396fb754a0645", "timestamp": 1664882422, "lastTimeUpdated": 1664882412, "title": "Fire Helmet, \"Globe Fire Company\""}
