Own a genuine piece of Los Angeles utility history!

This authentic vintage L.A. Water Bureau steel hard hat was manufactured by B.F. McDonald Co. of Los Angeles, California. It features the original cream-colored finish, bold black “L.A. WATER BUREAU” lettering, full-brim steel construction, leather sweatband, fabric suspension, chin strap, and original interior manufacturer label.

This hard hat is in used vintage condition and shows noticeable age and wear from years of use. The exterior has scratches, scuffs, paint loss, discoloration, marks, and surface wear throughout. The inside suspension, leather band, chin strap, and manufacturer label also show aging and wear. These imperfections are part of the helmet’s authentic industrial history and give it a rugged, one-of-a-kind appearance.

A great collectible for fans of Los Angeles history, water department memorabilia, vintage workwear, industrial décor, utility collectibles, or authentic antique safety equipment.
