What do I have here. Closest match seems to be a Mecklenburg 1860?

I picked this up at an antique shop yesterday hoping it's a pickelhaube but I can't find anything like it. Obviously it's missing the cockades, straps and spike if it ever had one. Crest seems to be Mecklenburg which I understand is fairly rare. The four hole locations seem to line up with the 1860 model. Interior looks completely different from anything I can find. Seller didn't know what it is either. It was $15 so I figured I'd take a chance on it. I have never had one of these before or seen one in person so this is totally new for me. Maybe a fire helmet of some sort?
