Helmet looks to be in great shape! One time I was working in the attic of a 1870s house. Found a pack of letters that had fallen down in a wall. All from the 1840's, talking about someones family moving west and how there trip was going. Very interesting stuff. I guess yeah never know!

Oh I will once I get everything moved in, the helmet was on the edge where the attic door comes down I looked with a flash light and can see other boxes in the back so tommorow I will look thru them and see if I can find anymore goodies

sweet, i'm always amazed at what new owners find in the attics or basements......also wonder why the past owners didn't take the stuff with them.

Sometimes I think the owners don't have a clue. When our neighbors moved a couple years ago, they empted our their barn and took it down to a dump in the field. My wife got looking around and found a WW1 medics helmet. It had the red cross on it and also the origional leather liner and chin strap. Needless to say when she sold it on e-bay, we were very happy. It sold for over 200.00. Thank you neighbors.
