Vintage firefighter helmet is a steampunk inspiration
Scuba_SM sez, "I found this site about early firefighter's respirators. The embellishments like the decorative plaque and beveled glass on the air gauge show the craftsmanship that went into it. I think it's pieces like this that really capture the steampunk fan's imagination."
