Another "What do I have here?" thread!
Some of the pieces I just picked up are self-expanatory. Where I'm a little lost is on current values and I.D. on two pieces. The Canadian Civil Defense helmet is a no-brainer. It's in very good shape except for the dent on the top (see pic) and some paint loss, but the innards are there. The Canadian issue helmet is also obvious and in excellent shape. Inside the brim it reads "C.L./C. 1941" and the number "37" stamped below that, and it too is complete and in excellent shape. Where I'm at sea is the pith helmet. There's a cloth tag inside that reads something like "Mastriangelo - Boston" and there's no liner. It feels like cardboard so I wonder if it's a true military tropical helmet or some marching band piece. The canteen feels too flimsy for a military piece and I'm assuming it's a civilian made "military style" canteen. Any input is more than welcome especially values. I may have over-paid for all this stuff. Thanks for looking.
