Any idea what country this Brodie style helmet is from?

If memory serves me correct these were produced for the civilian market and offered at local hardware stores and the like and first started showing up a few months after Pearl as there were concerns that the Japanese may even try and launch sneak attacks on the lower 48 .
I will have to look but I do remember seeing period advertising in the form of a store poster or a newspaper add offering these to the public.
