Here is an authentic Cairns & Brother traditional fire helmet marked “ASS’T CHIEF.”

This is a used municipal helmet showing honest service wear — scuffs, surface marks, and character throughout. Original clear visor is present and intact. Interior liner and chin strap remain installed.

Shield displays ASS’T CHIEF designation. Hand-marked “C-2” on rear dome suggests unit assignment.

Helmet appears to be late 20th century production based on liner style and hardware configuration.

This is being sold strictly as collectible firefighting memorabilia. It is not represented as safe for active service.

Condition highlights:

• Visor present and functional

• Interior liner complete

• Surface scuffs and wear consistent with use

• No cracks noted in shell

• Decals intact with minor edge wear

A solid addition for:

• Fire memorabilia collectors

• Rank helmet collectors

• Firehouse display

• Film / prop use

Please review all photos carefully.
