Vintage Riddell Kra-Lite TK2 Football Helmet Oakland Raiders Dave Casper

Very rare Oakland Raiders Riddell Kra-Lite TK2 helmet from 1973, as shown by the ring date stamp above the earhole.

This was a Riddell lamp as described below, so helmet includes vintage and authentic striping and decals of the Raiders applied at the factory by RIDDell. This helmet has also been customized by adding the famous black number 87 in correct size and font of All-Time Raiders great and HOF Tight End Dave Casper. Helmet has been customized by attaching Schutt style OPO facemask as Casper wore in the “Holy Roller” game. In that game Raiders Quarterback Ken Stabler was being sacked on a last gasp effort and fumbled forward and Casper recovered the ball in the end zone for the winning touchdown.

Will make a stunning display, and looks like it just came off the field!

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 and padding, exactly as would have been present then, into them 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.
