WW1 US Army helmet collection.

[@jimcollins7052]

I actually found one that someone throw out. That was my first one. They are addictive. I mainly collect 26th Yankee Division stuff.

[@mikewinkelman7015]

Nice helmets definitely worth collecting.

[@kennethreese4659]

Thank you.

Nice group of Doughboy helmets. Back in the early 1980s, $25.00 was a lot of money. Keep the video's coming. 👍🏻

[@kennethreese4659]

Thank you.

I have a helmet with that split chin strap too.

[@Blitz1944]

Very nice helmets, I had one years ago, whish I hadn't sold it.

[@kennethreese4659]

Thank you. Wish I had a lot of stuff back I sold over the years.

This is really cool, it's interesting seeing how varied some of the dimensions of them are, like they had some trouble standardizing.
Manufacturing for these really came a long way so quickly that it's something I didn't consider

Some collectors say that the felt looking lining inside the helmet contains asbestos.

[@kennethreese4659]

That's very possible.
