Game Used NFL, Riddell Kra-Lite, and Miscellaneous Helmets: St. Louis Cardinals Authentic Vintage NFL Riddell Kra-Lite Game Football Helmet circa 1971

This beauty is an authentic Riddell Kra-Lite helmet 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 2-bar Riddell BD-9 facemask are all original and from the original manufacture date. The decals are the very rare multiple piece decals used on these helmets during the era. 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!
