[{"label": "Description", "content": "The traditional American leather firefighter\u00e2\u0080\u0099s 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 Anderson & Jones of New York, New York in the 19th century. The helmet has four prominent combs and an ivy-vine scrolling pattern is stamped into the brim of the helmet. A metal eagle\u00e2\u0080\u0099s head is mounted onto the top of the helmet to serve as a frontpiece holder. The rear brim bears the initials \u00e2\u0080\u009cU.F.I.\u00e2\u0080\u009d in painted gold letters with red shading. The initials \u00e2\u0080\u009cUFI\u00e2\u0080\u009d likely refers to United Fireman\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Insurance. United Fireman\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Insurance acted as a mutual aid society that was composed of several fire companies who collected dues and managed a fund to aid wounded and disabled fire fighters."}, {"label": "Location", "content": "Currently not on view"}], "creditLine": [{"label": "Credit Line", "content": "Gift of CIGNA Museum and Art Collection"}], "name": [{"label": "maker", "content": "Anderson & Jones"}], "place": [{"label": "place made", "content": "United States"}], "physicalDescription": [{"label": "Physical Description", "content": "leather (overall material)"}, {"label": "Measurements", "content": "overall: 8 1/4 in x 14 in; 20.955 cm x 35.56 cm"}], "dataSource": [{"label": "Data Source", "content": "National Museum of American History"}], "objectType": [{"label": "Object Name", "content": "helmet, fire"}]}}, "url": "edanmdm:nmah_1335101", "hash": "f6c34c21a1c23fb27298cf62336ed003009ccf2a", "docSignature": "643aee9d142f125c5562344649d29f4e", "timestamp": 1664882422, "lastTimeUpdated": 1664882412, "title": "Fire Helmet, \"U.F.I.\""}
