Does anybody own or have information about Cincinnati Reds batting helmets from the 1960's or 1950's? I am trying to determine if a couple helmets alleged to be used by Pete Rose in the early to mid 1960's are genuine. I will post pictures. Thanks. Chuck

Finally, here is a picture and description from the mlbsouvenirhelmets.com website.
Dates used: 1957- 66
Inside of helmet: Foam padding, which is missing
Manufacturer: Bobbie Enterprises
Logo: real sticker
Thoughts: One of the more difficult helmets to find. Don't know how often they were available, but they were given out at a Reds game August 6, 1961.

I believe that both helmets were purchased on ebay from Lynchburg, VA seller Minimick07 who maybe has a shady reputation.
