I just picked up today at a flea market a University of Michigan Riddell Kra-Lite helmet lamp. Lamp works, is in great shape, but does not have a shade. Any idea on it's value?

I don't have any idea of it's value, but it is a cool piece. Pleas send me an email if you decide on a price, I am interested.

Very nice helmet.... Are the yellow graphics a decal/sticker? I believe back then the actual team helmet graphics were hand-painted with a stencil. Just curious to know if Michigan decals existed back then.
I don't recall seeing a Michigan lamp like this before.... A nice find for sure.

Michigan helmets are still painted. They have not gone the decal route, yet.
A quick ebay search showed Kra-Lite helmets going from about $130 to $286. I am definitely interested if it's for sale.

The helmet is painted, they are not decals. The original leather jaw pads are in place as well. I will post if I decide to sell it....I am a Eastern Michigan fan (I have an old "Huron" helmet lamp shown in one of the pictures) but I couldn't pass the Michigan helmet when I saw it.

Hi - Is this the helmet lamp that was on eBay? If it is, good for you - it sold for a nice price.

No, this is a different helmet lamp.
