Comments: Big John
Interesting leather "hard" hat. Probably didn't provide much protection but held the carbide lamp. These guys were tough.

My great grandfather was coal miner in WVA. Tough work for sure.
The song Big John, still hear it on an old country radio station locally. Never imagined it was a black man. Maybe I was thinking about relatives of the past. Irrelevant. Big John was a BIG, BIG MAN.
