Original Riddell Yale Bulldogs Kra-Lite TK2 Game Football Helmet 100 Year Ann.

Vintage and original Yale Bulldogs Riddell Kra-Lite TK2 game helmet from the early 1970s as shown by the “Riddell” and “Kra-Lite” stamped into the rear of the helmet.

This is a legitimate NCAA game helmet, although we are not sure whether it was used in a game. Please read further.

Please see photos for condition for this more then 50 year old helmet.

This helmet was removed from a RIDDell helmet lamp to make available for display. Riddell helmet lamps were manufactured between 1969 and 1973, and used actual game helmets which were manufactured by Riddell for the NFL and NCAA teams. These lamps were available by mail order through The Sears Wishbook. The NCAA teams were far and away the most rarely manufactured.

RIDDell helmet lamps were not manufactured until ordered. When ordered, RIDDell simply removed the suspension padding from the helmet and replaced the rivets before assembling the helmet into a lamp to ship out. We removed the helmet from one of those lamps and then had the suspension restored to make this beautiful specimen game ready again! NCAA teams are extremely rare.

Here is the neat part. Some of the helmets were returned to Riddell at the end of the season and converted into trophy lamps to award to players, coaches, or boosters. Those helmets showed wear and still had marks from games. This helmet sure has a lot of that, but we cannot be sure either way.

Also, please note we can add numbers and change out facemasks if you desire. Please request pricing for this service.

Will make a stunning display, and the helmet looks like it is ready to take the field!
