Well me New Yorker is starting to get some battle scars and after our last fire I think the sides lifted up and the back drooped some more...AWESOME!

Plus nobodys posted here in a while so I thought I'd liven this place up.

Alan It Could also be Yarmouth NS,, I know they used them though I dont recall the frontpieces they used in Yarmouth...as Far as preserving the helmet, I would keep it in a moderatly Cool, Dry space if you feel that the leather is SO dry, that it may be dryrotted and ready to fall off the metal frame don't mess with it because that might happen..:) if the leather is actually cut open from the heat and wrinkling this might not be the best option, and IT will ultimately ruin the Patina, making the leather look NEWer But using "snoseal" which is a beeswax based Leather boot water proofer and "fixer upper" the stuff is softer then Cake bees wax and YOu could always warm it up either in warm or hot water or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds Max and then using a soft cloth Massage it in just be careful, the cracks will absorb the bees wax but it will absorb it into the "skin" without OVER softening another option I would freely consider trying is massaging in any simple skin conditioner type salve but rememeber when applying less is best , even if it take weeks to complete rather then making it into a glob that may get absorbed in 3 or 4 years..lol

I just purchased myself a High eagle antique leather fire helmet its either from Yonkers fire department in New york Or York fire department in Maine which is most likely where it’s from It looks like it would be early 1900 or late 1890???Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how I can preserve the helmet without taking away any of its value the helmet is in original condition and is in awesome shape Any suggestion or recommendations?
