jagjetta Posted March 15, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 15, 2017 From August 1918, these photos show a commode-looking helmet invented by a Washington DC policeman who felt the helmet could double as an entrenching tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Quarter Posted March 15, 2017 Share #2 Posted March 15, 2017 Awesome pictures. I can see why they never went into production! Not much protection. Haha Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealthytyler Posted March 15, 2017 Share #4 Posted March 15, 2017 Not a terrible concept but the design provides little protection from the sides and back. Where did you find these photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wharfmaster Posted March 15, 2017 Share #5 Posted March 15, 2017 I think this may be the Mark-1 bicycle racing helmet. Wharf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
268th C.A. Posted March 15, 2017 Share #6 Posted March 15, 2017 looks more like a M-1 bed pan. Intresting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtdorango Posted March 15, 2017 Share #7 Posted March 15, 2017 I wonder if they called him "ol shovel head"?....mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlewilly Posted March 28, 2017 Share #8 Posted March 28, 2017 Looks a bit difficult to use as a shovel. Hard ground would be a big issue. MHJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
