About MeA Merryweather pattern fireman's helmet with the letters "AFB" (Aberdeen Fire Brigade).

Raised dragon comb with front vent over applied letters "AFB" and rosettes to either side where the chin strap would have attached (chin straps and lining are absent). The top of the comb has been modified - the top has been cut to create a coin slot for fundraising by the North East Fire Heritage Trust.
