Helmet Identification

[Sunray]

Industrial hard hats are plastic. And $5 is really cheap for any milsurp hat. You can usually tell helmet vintage by their depth. W.W. I helmets were relatively shallow compared to the same thing from W.W. II. Apparently the W.W. II MK II Brodie had a small brass nut and screw holding the liner in and it weighed 2.5 pounds vs about 2.25 pounds of the Mk I.

Industrial hard hats are plastic.

There IS evidence of these military helmets being used in other roles through the decades just after the wars. I have a fire hall museum just up the road from me that has a couple displayed that were used some fifty years ago...
