Original Riddell 1973 Nebraska Cornhuskers Kra-Lite TK2 Game Football Helmet

Description: For your consideration is this vintage and original Nebraska Cornhuskers Riddell Kra-Lite TK2 helmet from 1973 as shown by the “Riddell” and “Kra-Lite” stamped into the rear of the helmet and the ring date stamp above the earhole. This is a legitimate NCAA game helmet, although not used in a game. Please read further. This beautiful specimen is a white impregnated plastic, so there is no paint to worry with. The decals and striping are new, as the previous striping and decals had been removed by the previous owner. These new ones are thin mil just like the vintage and original team issued decals and striping which was applied by Riddell when the helmet was manufactured. Of course those older decals would not display as nicely as these glossy decals. To add to the authenticity, this amazing specimen also includes leather jaw pads just as used on the field. Please see photos for nice 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. 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 then had the suspension restored to make this beautiful specimen game ready again! We have also customized this rare helmet with the same style OPO Facemask and #20 applied in correct size and font as worn by Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers. We also 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. Westbrook Sportscards has been in business since 1988.
