Los Angeles Rams Riddell TK2 Football Helmet 1970 Painted Horns Les Josephson

Los Angeles Rams Riddell TK-2 Kra-Lite helmet from 1970 as shown by the date stamp above the ear hole. This was a Riddell lamp as described below, so helmet is vintage, including the painted horns as Riddell did for the Rams through 1973. The horns are not decals! The white helmet was taped and painted, with the tape then being removed to reveal the white horns of the original finish of the original helmet shell. Helmet has been customized to represent the RIDDell TK helmet worn in 1970 by All-Time great and Rams favorite Les Josephson by adding the Rams’ famous dymo tape with Josephson’s name and number 34. This beauty also includes the most widely used football helmet face mask on the planet, the Riddell 2-bar BD-9 facemask, and this one is date matched 1970 to the helmet! Very Rare helmet to find as Riddell only produced these helmet lamps using actual game quality helmets to make these lamps for 3 years. Please note: we are not claiming this helmet was issued to or used by Mr. Josephson, but this is about as close to what he wore as you can get without owning his helmet. Will make a stunning display, and looks like it just came off the field!

We offer many vintage NFL helmets manufactured by Riddell which were destined to be actual game used NFL helmets but before they could be shipped out to the teams, these helmets were used to make very collectible lamps for retail sale from 1969-1973. These helmets had the suspension removed and were then attached to a wooden base with additional lamp parts attached. We have removed these helmets from the lamp and installed a new suspension and padding exactly as the vintage suspension which would have been installed then. The result is a stunning and amazing vintage helmet with vintage authentic team decals and vintage Riddell 2-bar BD-9 facemasks.

All of our helmets are for display purposes only! They are not to be used or worn for competitive play. Westbrook Sportscards has been in business since 1988.
