****PLEASE NOTE- THESE HELMETS ARE FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES AND USES ONLY AND ARE NOT INTENDED FOR COMPETITION AT ANY LEVEL****WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY USE OF THESE HELMETS WHICH IS INCONSISTENT WITH THEIR INTENDED USE FOR DISPLAY ONLY**** On this page we offer many actual game used NFL helmets, as well as helmets that are game used, although not in the NFL, and then reconditioned and/or refinished to represent NFL game helmets. Most of these helmets have at least a few scuffs and scratches from game use, but not enough to detract from the attractiveness of the item, while a few others exhibit heavy game use and look great because of it. These minor "scars of valor" add a desirable quality to the helmet. We will provide information on each individual helmet below. Some helmets have additional pictures to give you as accurate a description as possible. After all, collecting should be fun, and why spend the same money on a helmet that was manufactured yesterday and has no game experience at any level, when you can get one for nearly the same money that was built back in the glory years of the NFL and looks like it just came off the field? Also on this page are many Riddell helmets from 1968 through 1974 which were manufactured by Riddell for use on the field by NFL teams, but instead ended up as some of these helmet shells did, assembled into a Riddell helmet lamp. These are not replicas or light weight look-alikes. They are the same helmets that were used by all of your favorite NFL players during the 1960s and 1970s in NFL games! They are very rare and highly desirable, as well as collectible. These helmets were then removed from the lamp base and recently received a suspension and padding exactly like the suspension used during that era. The decals, striping, shell, and mask are all original and from the original manufacture date. The jaw pads are authentic leather too! Don't miss out on these great collectibles of your favorite players and teams. PLEASE NOTE- as you see in some of the pictures on this page, we can change facemasks and apply numbers on a helmet acoording to your wishes. We do have most face masks and numbers in stock, and the numbers are in the proper font used by a particular team. When ordering, simply put in the notes section any numbers you would like added to your helmet. We may need to adjust the pricing based on any changes in face masks, but usually we are able to add numbers at no additional charge to you! |

| Yep, you saw correctly. This is the real deal. There just are not many NFL game helmets from the golden years of the NFL, but here is your chance to own one. This Riddell Kra Lite II helmet is date-stamped '72 inside, and is complete with all its original parts and is museum quality. Helmet is size 7 1/4. They just don't get any better than this. |
|
|
| It really doesn't get much better than this; a real gamer. The helmet is missing part of the "water jacket" padding that fits into the top and front. Otherwise, this is a real beauty, showing extensive game use, including a small crack in the shell. The single bar mask is actually one of the two bars from a 2-bar face mask. My guess is this helmet belonged to a kicker or punter, but we are not sure as there are no number references available. Great old original piece of NFL memorabilia! |

| This Rams beauty is an authentic Riddell Kra-Lite TK helmet, and according to the date stamp inside the helmet, was manufactured in 1971. This helmet was manufactured by Riddell for use on the field, but ended up as some of the helmet shells did, assembled into a Riddell helmet lamp. The helmet was removed from that lamp and recently received a suspension padding. The shell and mask are all original and from the original manufacture date. The jaw pads are authentic leather too! This is a great old Rams helmet that was game issue quality and is a very desireable display piece. We have seen the helmet lamps fetch more money than we are asking this item, and the lamps do not have suspension padding installed. This will make a great gift for that old die-hard Rams fan! |

| Here is a great old and vintage Riddell Kra-Lite suspension helmet which has seen heavy game use, including a crack in the shell at the right temple area which is approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in length. The helmet looks absolutely great. We have then added the Seahawks decals to the helmet so it looks just like the real thing. The helmet has Riddell and Kra-Lite stamped into the rear and someone has engraved the size 7 1/8 on one side and the number 80 on the other. The helmet also includes the vintage Riddell BD-9 two-bar facemask. This Kra-Lite helmet will make a very desirable display piece and give great enjoyment to any Seahawks fan for years to come. |

| What an amazing and rare find! Here is an authentic game suspension helmet from the 1969 Jersey Jays in their only season. After spending four years as the Charleston Rockets, the team moved to the Newark, NJ area for the final year of play in the Continental Football League (1965-1969). This minor league had aspirations of someday becoming more, and even followed NFL rules for the most part, with a few minor exceptions. There is also some evidence that the Jays were affiliated with the Cleveland Browns. The Jays played in old Schools stadium. This amazing survivor of the Golden Era of pro football is original and vintage in every way, from the thin mil decals to the original Riddell BD-9 two bar facemask, leather jaw pads, and vintage chin strap. On the rear of the helmet is stamped Riddell and Kra-Lite. Inside both sides written in black marker is "Vick 21". Don't miss this one. It must truly be a rare and unique "one-of-a-kind" item. |

| Absolutely amazing vintage and authentic Dallas Cowboys Riddell TAK-29 Kra-Lite II football helmet from the early 1970’s worn by Bennie Barnes and others while they were with the Dallas Cowboys. This Riddell TAK-29 suspension helmet is a size 7 1/2 with a vintage Riddell BD-9 two-bar face mask and jaw pads. Barnes’ name is written on the inside of the helmet along with number 31. This helmet will diplay nicely as it shows moderate to heavy game use in some areas- check out the front of the helmet- but there are no cracks in the helmet shell. This item comes with COA from Legendary Auctions. Riddell TAK-29 helmets are very rare as they have a set of air or liquid pads at the base of the neck to help avoid concussions. The TAK-29’s are the link between the pure suspension helmets of the 1960’s and the air and liquid padding helmets which came along in the early to mid 1970’s. What a great Dallas Cowboys collectible! |

| Fantastic vintage and authentic Dallas Cowboys Riddell Kra-Lite II football helmet from 1975. This Riddell Kra-Lite II suspension helmet is a size 7 1/2 with a vintage Riddell BD-9 two-bar face mask and jaw pads. Number 14 is clearly visible written inside the helmet on the left side with the date stamp of "75" found on the inside on the right side. This helmet shows moderate game use, but is in great shape with no cracks and will display proudly for any NFL or Cowboys fan. What a great Dallas Cowboys collectible! |

| This early 1970s vintage San Francisco 49ers Riddell TK-2 model football helmet is an amazing helmet. This white impregnated helmet is factory painted light gold like the 49ers helmets of the early 1970s. Helmet is Medium shell size, with the suspension size 7 1/4. Features original Riddell BD-9 two bar facemask and vintage U bar mask. Also, has vintage thin mil 49ers decals and striping. Center stripe is over rivets. Overall this helmet is in great condition with no game wear and only storage wear evident. Also, please notice the original suspension and very rare Aerocell padding, which was added to some suspension helmets to help prevent concussions. Riddell top pad, and Riddell leather jawpads. Helmet shell date coding is 1972, one of the aerocell pads is partially covering the clock portion of the coding system so month is hard to determine. All labels are intact and in mint condition. This is absolutely a great vintage helmet! Was this helmet game issued by the 49ers? It is really difficult to say, but it sure looks like it was. A true must for any NFL or 49ers fan. Spots in photos are reflection of lighting. Helmet is for display use only and is not to be used in a competitive nature. |

| Great looking old Riddell Kra-Lite Jets helmet. This helmet was manufactured by Riddell for use on the field in NFL games, but originally was converted to a helmet lamp for display. The decals and striping are the original ones put on by Riddell and are the authentic thin-mil. Since it's production the helmet has been refurbished with new suspension padding and jaw pads inside, and an authentic Riddell BD-9 facemask from that era was added. Most helmets from former lamps come with a mask which still has the hole drilled in the bottom bar of the mask which secured the helmet to the lamp base, but we have made the exchange to the original mask so that the helmet is as authentic as possible! The only way to get a helmet more authentic is to find a true gamer, and there are not many of those around any longer. This helmet has a date stamp of 1973 inside the helmet and has a size 7 3/8 suspension installed so that faithful Jets fan can wear it on game day. |

| Fantastic vintage and authentic heavy duty Kra-Lite 8 Riddell suspension helmet, just as was used by many NFL teams of the early 1970’s. The helmet is date stamped 1971. This Riddell Kra-Lite-8 helmet is a size 7 1/2 with a vintage and authentic Riddell BD-9 two-bar face mask and original leather jaw pads and chin strap. This helmet has never been used, with only minor scuffs from storage, and has been striped with the correct original striping for the Bills. The Bills logos are the large standing Bills and made of the heavy duty 20 mil thick decal plastic. We have a Bills gamer from that era, and except for the scars, you just can’t tell the difference between this helmet and the gamer. What a great Buffalo Bills collectible helmet for display! |

| Another great Riddell Kra-Lite Game helmet from the Golden Era of pro football. This 49ers helmet is authentic and original right down to the thin-mil large 49ers decals and striping, leather jaw pads, chin strap, and Riddell BD-9 2-bar facemask! This helmet was manufactured by Riddell for use on the field, but ended up as some of the vintage authentic Riddell helmet shells did in the late 1960s and early 1970s, assembled into a Riddell helmet lamp. This helmet was removed from that lamp and recently received a size 7 3/8 suspension padding and authentic leather jaw pads, just like the original. Helmet still has the original Riddell stikers inside the helmet, and shows size 7 3/8. This helmet makes for an absolutely stunning display. |

| Great looking Riddell Kra-Lite helmet, circa 1967 grey shell painted Browns orange and decorated with thin-mil striping. Shows a great deal of game use with missign paint and lots of dings and scrapes- looks like it just came off the field. The trademark branded on the rear is the "RIDDell" version, and is difficult to see in our pictures due to the paint. This beauty is size 7 and also comes with the authentic Riddell BD-9 2-bar facemask. |

| This Redskins beauty is an authentic Riddell Kra-Lite II helmet manufactured with a date stamp of 1972. That would make this one of the first Redskins helmets with this color scheme and logo, as they switched to this logo in 1972. This helmet was manufactured by Riddell for use on the field, but ended up as some of the vintage authentic Riddell helmet shells did in the late 1960s and early 1970s, assembled into a Riddell helmet lamp. This helmet was removed from that lamp and recently received a size 7 3/8 suspension padding. The shell, thin-mil decals and striping, 2-bar Riddell BD-9 facemask, and leather jaw pads are all original and from the original manufacture date. This helmet has been lightly touched up with Redskins burgundy paint, which, as one can see, was a perfect match. The touch-up gives the impression of a game used helmet. This is a great old Redskins helmet that was game issue quality and is a very desirable display piece. We have seen the helmet lamps fetch more money than we are asking this item, and the lamps do not have suspension padding installed. This will make a great gift for that old die-hard Redskins fan! |

| Absolutely amazing vintage Riddell TAK-29 Kra-Lite II football helmet from 1972. This helmet is white inside, and recently painted authentic Cowboys silver outside, with authentic striping and Cowboys “star” decals as used in that era. Helmet also has had a dino stripe added with the name “Harris” on it. This Riddell TAK-29 suspension helmet is a size 7 3/8, and has an authentic vintage Riddell BD-9 two-bar face mask, authentic vintage wildcat sweatband/nose bumper, and authentic vintage leather jaw pads, all original to the helmet at its manufacture in 1972, as indicated by the date stamp inside the helmet. This helmet will make a stunning display as it appears to be as brand new as opening day of the 1972 NFL season! The only way to get a helmet any closer to a true Cowboys game helmet was to be there in 1972 and get it from the equipment manager yourself. Riddell TAK-29 helmets are very rare as they have a set of air or liquid pads at the base of the neck to help prevent concussions. The TAK-29’s are the link between the pure suspension helmets of the 1960’s and the air and liquid padding helmets which came along in the early to mid 1970’s. What a great Dallas Cowboys collectible! |

| Very rare authentic and vintage Riddell Kra-Lite RK-4 helmet from the mid 1960s. This beauty, with the older six-spoke suspension padding, shows game use of scrapes and dings under the recently applied coat of Cowboys silver paint on the outside. This size 7 ¼, heavy helmet, has RIDDell and KRA-LITE engraved on the rear, and is a beautiful helmet from the Golden Era of professional football, as shown by the flared ears of the helmet. Helmet also has a lineman “cage” style face mask just like Bob Lilly and Jethro Pugh wore, and authentic vintage leather jaw pads. To complete this amazing piece, the Cowboys striping is the correct blue (not the navy color used today) of the 1964-66 teams, and the decal is 2-piece and layered just as was used then. Not a Cowboys gamer, but another helmet that looks the part and is sure to impress! |

This helmet was removed from that lamp and recently received a size 7 3/8 suspension padding and authentic leather jaw pads, just like the original. The thin-mil decals are the very rare multi-layered decals, and the helmet and Riddell BD-9 2-bar facemask are both original and from the original manufacture date. The helmet has the proper blue DYNO tape with "MEREDITH" on the rear white strip as would have been worn by Cowboys great quarterback Dandy Don Meredith. This is a great old Riddell helmet that was game issue quality and is a very desirable display piece. We have seen the helmet lamps fetch more money than we are asking for this item, and the lamps do not have suspension padding installed. This will make a great gift for that old die-hard NFL football fan! |

| Great Riddell authentic and vintage Riddell Kra-Lite RK-4 helmet from the mid 1960. This beauty, with the older six-spoke suspension padding, shows extensive game use of scrapes and dings under the recently applied coat of Cowboys silver paint on the outside, and even shows a small crack below the right ear hole. Boy, talk about earning your stripes! This is a beautiful helmet from the Golden Era of professional football, as shown by the flared ears of the helmet. Helmet also has a Riddell single-bar "stubby" face mask, just like Dandy Don wore, and authentic vintage leather jaw pads. To complete this amazing piece, the Cowboys striping is the correct blue (not the navy color used today) of the 1964-66 teams, and the decal is 2-piece and layered just as was used then. Not a Cowboys gamer, but she sure looks the part and is sure to impress! |

| This beauty is an authentic Riddell Kra-Lite-II helmet, circa 1973. Yep, that’s right, Dan Fouts’ rookie year. This helmet has a ring date stamp of ’73 inside the helmet above the ear hole. This is what his helmet would have looked like, and is about as close to the real thing as you can get without spending thousands of dollars.. This helmet is size 7 1/8, and has the rare thin-mil multi-layered decals, and correct size and font #14 on both sides, just like Fouts’ helmet would have had. The facemask is the correct Schutt style as worn by Fouts that year. This is a great old Riddell helmet that was game issue quality and is a very desirable display piece. This helmet shows minor scuffing due to normal wear of almost 40 years, and will make a great gift for that old die-hard Chargers or NFL football fan! |

| Great old Riddell helmet with single bar mask and authentic font and size # 19 on rear recreated to replicate a helmet worn by Colts great Johnny Unitas! Old style helmet with old vintage early 1960s six-point suspension padding inside. Single bar mask is the very difficult to find reproduction of the style used in that ear, and is at the properly installed angle for a Unitas helmet from the early 1960s. Paint is thick and Riddell trademark is not seen. Helmet even has authentic Riddell helmet tape from the era. Great old collectible for display, for any old Colts or NFL fan. |

| This great old helmet is ararely seen authentic Riddell Kra-Lite-8 TK helmet circa 1969. This helmet has the interior painted gray, indicating manufacture during or before 1969. This beauty was manufactured by Riddell for use on the field, but ended up as some of the vintage authentic Riddell helmet shells did in the late 1960s and early 1970s, assembled into a Riddell helmet lamp. This helmet was removed from that lamp and recently received a size 7 3/8 suspension padding and authentic leather jaw pads, just like the original. The shell, thin-mil decals and striping, 2-bar Riddell BD-9 facemask are all original and from the original manufacture date. This is a great old Riddell helmet that was game issue quality and is a very desirable display piece. This will make a great gift for that old die-hard NFL football fan! |

| You certainly cannot find many of these Oilers helmets around any more. Absolutely a fabulous collectable from the 1970s, with a manufacture date of 1975 (exterior date coded HY). This beauty is a Wilson Model 2005 with rare concussion padding and original model BD-9 Riddell 2-bar facemask from the era. This helmet might be attributed to a player wearing #40 (markered on inside). Not sure if this was possibly Ken Ellis' helmet during his brief stint with Oilers in 1976, but it is an earlier period Wilson helmet. The stripes are painted on with the thicker mil Wilson supplied Oiler oil derrick decals which do show appropriate decal creep/shrinkage, and lifting as can be seen in photos. Size is 7 1/8 as marked on interior side webbing. Moderate wear including paint contact marks on exterior show game use. Helmet has white impregnated shell with no cracks. Helmet does not appear to have gone through any reconditioning as far as we can tell. |

| This beauty is only the second very rare white shelled authentic Riddell Kra-Lite Eagles helmet we have had. It is circa 1971. This helmet was manufactured by Riddell for use on the field, but ended up as some of the vintage authentic Riddell helmet shells did in the late 1960s and early 1970s, assembled into a Riddell helmet lamp. This helmet was removed from that lamp and recently received a size 7 3/8 suspension padding and authentic leather jaw pads, just like the original. The shell and thin-mil decals, 2-bar Riddell BD-9 facemask are all original and from the original manufacture date. As with almost all detailed decals from this era, there is some minor detail damage to the decals, but they still make for a stunning display. This is a great old Riddell helmet that was game issue quality and is a very desirable display piece. We have seen the helmet lamps fetch more money than we are asking for this item, and the lamps do not have suspension padding installed. This will make a great gift for that old die-hard NFL football fan! |

| You just don't see the authentic NFL game helmets from this era any more. Here is an opportunity that may not come along again. This helmet is certified as game used by the Houston Oilers in 1970. It was later autographed by 1959 LSU Heisman Trophy winner, and later Oilers #1 draft pick, Billy Cannon. The helmet is complete with all padding intact, original decals and striping, and a "modified" facemask to boot! Just check out the mask- they cut out the top part of the nosebar to "create" a WR-QB mask. Look at some of the pictures from that era and you will be amazed at how often this happened! An amazing opportunity to own a true piece of NFL history and Americana. |

| Offered for your consideration is an authentic Rawlings HCVP game helmet. Never used, heavy duty, size 7 3/8 - 7 1/2, and sporting the heavy mil Columbia blue and red stripes and decals of the 1981 Houston Oilers. Although not issued or used by the Oilers, this helmet is from the era and comes complete with all padding and a pro-style running back's facemask just like the one worn by Earl Campbell in the early 1980s for the "Luv Ya Blue!" Oilers of the Bum Phillips era. Great collectible for any Oilers fan! |
