Vintage Riddell Kra-Lite-8 TK2 Football Helmet 1970 Houston Oilers RARE

Very rare Houston Oilers Riddell Kra-Lite TK2 helmet from 1970 as evidenced by no ring date stamp inside the helmet and the inside painted gray. This was a Riddell lamp as described below, so helmet has authentic factory RIDDell Oilers blue-silver paint and is a team issued helmet and includes authentic and original vintage thin mil decals and vintage thin mil striping as well.

See photos for beautiful condition- helmet looks like it just came off the field. The Oilers were among the most scarcely made lamps, and therefore are very rare.

PLEASE NOTE: We are not claiming this helmet was issued or used by the Oilers in an NFL game. Will make a stunning display!

Many of our helmets are vintage from the 1960's and 1970's. We offer many 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. 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 identical to the one used in the 1960s and 1970s, and the result is a stunning and amazing vintage helmet for with vintage authentic team decals and 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.
