JSG ESTATE LIQUIDATION

This lot features two distinct welding helmets, offering both traditional and modern eye protection for welding tasks. The first is a vintage passive welding helmet, constructed from a durable, dark gray plastic or fiberglass material, featuring a flip-up lens assembly with a fixed shade. Its simple, robust design is indicative of older, reliable welding equipment, likely from the mid to late 20th century, and it shows wear consistent with its age and intended use. The second helmet is a more contemporary auto-darkening model, identified as a Chicago Electric Welding Electric Systems item 94337, characterized by its glossy black finish adorned with vibrant skull and flame graphics. This helmet incorporates an adjustable auto-darkening lens, a significant technological advancement providing convenience and enhanced safety for welders. Both helmets are designed for head-mounted wear, providing full facial protection from arc flash and sparks. The Chicago Electric helmet includes a visible adjustment dial for shade control, a common feature in modern auto-darkening units. Overall condition is good for both helmets; the vintage passive helmet exhibits surface scratches and scuffs on its exterior, and the lens assembly shows signs of use, but appears structurally sound. The Chicago Electric helmet has some minor surface wear to its graphics and shell, but the auto-darkening lens appears intact and functional, though untested for specific shade performance. Both helmets are complete with their respective headgear, ready for use or collection.
