Italian Pirelli C.60 Industrial Gas Mask

The C60 gas mask was produced by Pirelli from the 1960s to the 1980s. This mask, equipped with a panoramic visor, has been designed for industrial use and, in some variants, for use with the fire brigade both as a respirator and as an SCBA facepiece.

Industrial variant

This mask, when produced for industrial uses, was made in different colors, such as gray or black.

The mask has different markings placed. In the upper part, above the visor, there is the Pirelli logo and the mark "MADE IN ITALY" while, on the sides, there are the size indications and the distinctive ENPI logo.

This mask, like all the work safety equipment of the time, were certified by this company which set and recognized the minimum safety requirements.

The mask was usually supplied in a yellow cardboard box with the Pirelli logos or with a metal case dedicated to this mask. It was also accompanied by a use and maintenance manual which could be purple or green and a small cylinder box containing a cloth with anti-dimming solution.
