Hard Hat and Carbide Lamp
$80
Vintage Hard Hat and Lamp. Nice mancave display piece.
This is an incredibly RARE hard hat. I do not know what it is made of possibly fibreglass or some sort of early ‘Duraglass’ like plastic, perhaps even a highly compressed composite ‘wood pulp’ material? I see that some very early hard hats are referred to as ‘Boiled Fibreglass’ but I think this could well be an urban myth based on a pre-1940’s patented process by the American E.D. Bullard where Steamed-Canvas and Glue result in a hard finish. Some early helmets were made of hard leather. Whatever this mystery hard hat is made from you will not easily find another one like it!
HAT height (overall) approx. 11.5cm
HAT brim (front to rear) approx. 29cm
HAT Brim (side to side) approx. 23cm
HAT (head size - front to rear) approx. 21cm
HAT (head size -side to side) approx. 17cm
LAMP height (overall height including dish) approx. 13cm
LAMP height 10.5cm
LAMP Reflector Dish diameter approx. 11cm
This item is old and used and showing normal signs of wear-and-tear for its age. The Lamp: I have never used this. I do not know if it works, and so is sold here for display purposes only.
PICKUP ONLY / CASH ONLY (‘real cash’ – no transfers) at Horsley NSW 2530 (West Dapto) just south of Wollongong, Thank you.
