    Would love to see what you guys have in the way of 40's & early 50's vintage racing helmets...show us what you got!


    Here's a Clymer 'Crash Helmet' I picked up a little while back;

    Nope...took me several years to find this one.

    Anybody else got something interesting?

    Everoak? Cromwell? Shoc-Shell?

    It's a shame that all the early racers were pin heads or I would have stepped up to the plate but for me they are too pricey for a wall decoration. I don't think that they ever made any for this fat head.
