THIS HELMET ( MEASURES 11 IN. X 8 IN.) WAS MADE DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY BY T.R. JONES COMPANY OF WILKES-BARRE, PA.
THERE'S A METAL LAMP BRACKET IN THE FRONT AND A LEATHER CORD HOLDER IN THE REAR.
THE HELMET'S CORD HOLDER KEEPS THE CABLE OUT OF THE MINER'S WAY, ROUTING IT BEHIND THE MINER.
THE CORD HOLDER POINTS TO THIS HELMET BEING USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN ELECTRIC LAMP.
THIS HELMET WAS IN MY FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS. WE LIVED IN NORTH EAST PA. AND I ASSUME ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS USED IT AS A MINER SINCE MINING WAS THE INDUSTRY IN THAT PART OF THE COUNTRY AT THAT TIME.
PLEASE STUDY PHOTOS CAREFULLY. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I'LL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER THEM.
