    dumb question??

    Not within my collecting field but I have aquired a small group of 10 photos that show young boys in fireman uniforms.They appear to be too young to be proper firemen so are they undergoing some sort of training? Would they be HJ
    Sorry if it is a dumb question
    thanks in advance

    great pics, the hj did have kids working in the fire dept, and on the pics they are def wearing hj armbands, can you see if there are an hj decal on the helmets as these hj fire helmets have been a grey area for a long time

        The decals does'nt has to be HJ decals, do you have more pictures to show in close up, maybe we can see the helmets better.

          Sorry there are not any clear shots of the decals.
          these are the best there is.
          Could they for any reason be police decals as this first picture has what I think is a police officer

                  This is the sleeve insignia. Authorized but not often seen worn in period photos.

                    thanks

                    Many thanks to all for the help.
                    these pictures do not fall within my collecting field so i will pop them on the estand.
                    Hate to ask but what would be a fair price for the set?
                    Cannot find any to compare them to so had to resort to asking.
                    thanks again
