Estate found  1960's vintage full brim SuperLectric Fibre-Metal Hard Hat. One will do a double take at first glance as the piece does not look its age. Notice the shine on the plastic the clean leather head band and elastic chinstrap attached to the adjustable suspension. The piece is in a dark tan-puddy-beige "Nude" color that looks almost new. The inner band of this hard hat adjusts to fit 6-3/4 to 7-1/2 sized skulls. Inside the shell is a large paper label with workman logo to inform reader that the hat is covered by patents* and meets all EEI** specifications; AP-1-1961, and ASA specification Z2.1 section 5.1 (Class B). There is also a small white price tag size production sticker indicating its manufacture to January 1967 by shift 3. It has been a gem in my own collection, I hope you will enjoy owning it. Condition: Previously owned. Headband and liner looks new never worn. Outside shell shows some nicks, scrapes in keeping with some light use of falling of a shelf, or shuffling from office to closet and back just in case it was needed. * US Patents: Patent US2295855 – PROTECTIVE HEADGEAR - Sep 15, 1942, F. F.
