    Description

    WOW
    what a beauty and truly a rare find. This is coming out of an estate in Elmwood Park, Illinois & has been kept in impeccable shape. I believe this is from a fire dept. in a suburb of Chicago. It belonged to a Lieutenant possibly engine #1 NFD. From talking with some retired firemen & collectors this may be from the 1920's or 1930's. It measures almost 8" tall. The colors are crisp & all the letters are there. It is marked on the metal piece Cairns & Bros New York. Only minor imperfections.  Truly a perfect piece for the collector. THIS IS
    FOR
    THE FRONT PIECE ONLY. WE DO NOT HAVE
    THE
    HELMET.
