Lcc lfb 1800 brass helmet

Hi Andy, I have a brass fire helmet and looking to sell it.
Can you advise me please on my best approach.
It's an 1800 merry weather London Fire brigade crested LCC LFB.

Thank you regards Rob

Hi Rob,
Well there is always eBay but if you want some other options there are lots of fire helmet collector forums on Face book. "The Antique Fire Helmet", "Trade Fire Helmets Worldwide", "Cascos de Bomberos", "Fire Helmets Auction" are just a few that I use.

Could you send me some pictures and an approximate price and I can also ask around.
Andy

Website content

Hi Andy,

I collect fire helmets in the US. Have about 65 now from around the world and enjoy the cork helmets. Just gleaned a good bit of information from your site about them. It is very well done.

Thanks from Bill in Alabama!
