VINTAGE 1890s GREEN VELVET MASONIC ODD FELLOW FRATERNAL CEREMONIAL GUARD HELMET:
$38.95

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THIS NICE COLLECTIBLE VERY OLD VINTAGE DECORATIVE GREEN VELVET ODDFELLOW GUARD HELMET, AN ANTIQUE FROM THE LATE 1800s TO EARLY 1900s.

THIS HELMET WOULD BE A PERFECT COSTUME FOR THEATRE OR A COSTUME PARTY, AND NICE FOR ONES FRATERNAL ORGANIZATION COLLECTION.
THE OLIVE GREEN VELVET FABRIC ON THIS HELMETHAS AN ORNATE EMBROIDERED DESIGN ON THE TOP. THE FRONT PANEL HAS AN EMBROIDERED TORCH AND LAUREL WREATH. THE FRONT PANEL IS MOVABLE WITH METAL PINS ON EACH END OF IT. THE LINING IS BLACK FABRIC, AND THE NAME \"JONATHAN\" IS PRINTED ON THE NAME LABEL. THE HELMET HAS A BROWN LEATHER SWEAT BAND, AND THE BOTTOM OF THE HELMET IS TRIMMED WITH SEAM BINDING.
THERE IS NO SIZE LISTED IN THE HELMET, SO ACCURATE HEAD MEASUREMENTS MUST BE TAKEN TO COMPARE WITH ITS MEASUREMENTS. THE CIRCUMFERENCE AROUND THE SWEATBAND MEASURED 22 INCHES. THE HELMET IS 6 1/2 INCHES WIDE AND 11 INCHES LONG. IT IS 5 INCHES HIGH.
AS MENTIONED ABOVE, ACCURATE BODY MEASUREMENTS MUST BE TAKEN, ESPECIALLY WHEN BUYING VINTAGE CLOTHING. DESPITE OBTAINING MEASUREMENTS, I CAN NOT GUARANTEE A PERFECT FIT. VINTAGE CLOTHING OFTEN RUNS SMALL. IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO ALLOW A LITTLE EXTRA ROOM FOR COMFORT AND EASE IN MOVEMENT.
REQUIRES THAT WE HAVE OUR POLICIES CLEARLY POSTED.
MY VINTAGE CLOTHING SELLS AS IS. NO RETURNS - NO REFUNDS. HOWEVER, I WILL LIST EVERY DEFECT I SEE, SO THAT BUYER IS AWARE PRIOR TO PURCHASING.
VINTAGE ITEMS SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO BE PERFECT, AS THEY HAVE HAD A PAST LIFE AND ARE DECADES OLD. BUYING VINTAGE IS NOT LIKE BUYING NEW!
CONSIDERING THISHELMET IS OVER 100 YEARS OLD, IT DOES SHOW WEAR. THE EMBROIDERY IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL AND IN NICE CONDITION. THERE ARE SOME MARKS IN THE VELVET, AND IT DOES HAVE SOME DISCOLORATION OR FADING. THE EDGES OF THE VELVET AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HELMET HAVE LIFTED UP FROM THE BINDING IN PLACES. HALF OF THE SWEAT BAND IS MISSING AND THE LEATHER IS VERY DRY. THERE ARE HOLES, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE LINING, AND THE NECK PROTECTOR IN THE BACK OF THE HELMET IS VERY STAINED. PLEASE REFER TO THE PHOTOS. THE HELMET DOES HAVE AN AGE RELATED SMELL. A DRY CLEANER MAY POSSIBLY BE ABLE TO CLEAN IT. IT DEFINITELY NEEDS A GOOD AIRING OR SPRAY BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN PUT AWAY AND STORED FOR MANY YEARS.
