Liner helmet M-1 US Army "Hood Rubber"

Liner absolutely complete and in an exceptional state of manufacture Hood Rubber Company Watertown (Massachusetts), complete with its green buckle chin strap

The company Hood Rubber produced only about 206,000 copies between 1942 and 1944, one of the lowest productions of all manufacturers of M1 US WW2 liners.

This low quantity, associated with the recognised fragility of these early manufactures, explains their rarity in the current market.
