[{"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 dates to the late 19th century. A metal eagle frontpiece holder is mounted to the crown of the helmet, holding a white frontpiece with a central painted image of a double-decker Philadelphia-style fire engine. The top of the frontpiece is missing, but comparison to similar objects reveal that the helmet originally had a black banner with white lettering that read \u00e2\u0080\u009cVETERAN.\u00e2\u0080\u009d The bottom of the frontpiece has a black banner with white lettering that reads \u00e2\u0080\u009cPHILADELPHIA.\u00e2\u0080\u009d The rear brim of the helmet has the golden letters \u00e2\u0080\u009cFA\u00e2\u0080\u009d flanking a gold image of a fire hydrant with attached hose. This was the logo of the Fire Association of Philadelphia, an insurance company founded by a group of eleven volunteer engine companies and five volunteer hose companies in 1817 that would have included the company of this helmet\u00e2\u0080\u0099s owner. The gold \u00e2\u0080\u009dV\u00e2\u0080\u009d on the back of the helmet\u00e2\u0080\u0099s crown signifies the veteran status of the wearer, and the helmet is painted white to signify that it was worn by a former officer."}, {"label": "Location", "content": "Currently not on view"}], "creditLine": [{"label": "Credit Line", "content": "Gift of CIGNA Museum and Art Collection"}], "name": [{"label": "maker", "content": "unknown"}], "physicalDescription": [{"label": "Physical Description", "content": "leather (overall material)"}, {"label": "Measurements", "content": "overall: 9 in x 14 1/4 in x 11 in; 22.86 cm x 36.195 cm x 27.94 cm"}], "dataSource": [{"label": "Data Source", "content": "National Museum of American History"}], "objectType": [{"label": "Object Name", "content": "helmet, fire"}]}}, "url": "edanmdm:nmah_1334419", "hash": "fe6eb3940b6a6fc3418fd6318c448e6a38dbd1f5", "docSignature": "1d112c07a05a89d572ab3beb0a16c2f6", "timestamp": 1664882422, "lastTimeUpdated": 1664882412, "title": "Fire Helmet, \"Veteran / Philadelphia\""}
