Remember these guys?–they made kit helmets.
You always hear the story of how the Bing brothers were toy manufacturers that got pressed into business making helmets. Well based on their letterhead these guys were sellers of heating oil, oil furnaces, and some unknown object known as a Heyden burner! Trivia of the day.
They also seem to have offered a different kind of ersatz helmet that I am not sure was ever purchased–never seen one.
