Miner’s Helmet
notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: This miner’s cap is similar in design to the Flexo Band Cool Cap, but any identifying label is now missing. The cap is made of reinforced leather with a dome comprised of upstanding ribs that allowed for both protection and ventilation. A leather and metal lamp bracket is attached to the front of the cap. The bracket could have held an oil-wick lamp or a carbide lamp.
