Vintage Riddell Kra-Lite Old Football TK Game Helmet 1971 Baltimore Colts Unitas

Vintage and original Baltimore Colts Riddell Kra-Lite TK2 helmet from 1971 as shown by the “Riddell” and “Kra-Lite” stamped into the rear of the helmet and the date stamp above the earhole. This is a legitimate NFL game helmet, although not used in a game. Please read further.

This was a Riddell lamp as described below, so helmet includes original and vintage 49ers “champagne gold” paint, striping, and decals as applied by RIDDell at the time of manufacture!

This amazing helmet has been customized with appropriate size, color, and font #19 of John Unitas as used by the Colts in 1971!

Riddell helmet lamps were manufactured between 1969 and 1973, and used actual game helmets which were manufactured by Riddell for the NFL teams. These lamps were available by mail order through The Sears Wishbook.

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.

This amazing helmet has a beautiful patina to the white paint! Please see photos for condition for this very rare and more than 50 year old helmet!

Helmet also includes the most popular facemasks ever produced, an original Riddell 2-bar BD-9 facemask. This amazing specimen also includes leather jaw pads just as used on the field.

This is about as close to an authentic Colts game used helmet from 1971 as you will find for a fraction of the price!

We have many of these helmets which have had a suspension installed as well. 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!

All of our helmets are for display purposes only! They are not to be used or worn for competitive play.
