Thats nice bubbrubb25. I picked up that Lou Piniella bat for my dad on fathers dad. And today his Chris Chambliss bat is coming in which was supposed to be for his birthday about a month and a half ago.
That is an awesome helmet Jim. You do not say what team, but I am assuming it is Nebraska. The helmet looks orange in the photos. I bought a similar RT helmet a couple years ago. No idea what team it is. It is a darker gold with a Kelly green center stripe. It has the same numbers on the rear of the helmet which were factory applied at Riddell. Beautiful helmets.
Yes, my helmet appears to be a circa 1953-56 Nebraska helmet. The helmet also came with a pair of gold pants that also matches the color and style of football pants worn by the Cornhuskers from the same era.
When I first saw the helmet, what caught my eye were the numbers on the back so I took a gamble and won it on eBay. After I got the helmet, it was just a matter of doing the research.
Thanks to Robert (Aeneas01), the Helmet Hut and Mark Hayne. They all provided invaluable information.
If you haven't visited the Helmet Hut, check it out. They have helmet scans of all of the major colleges, NFL and WFL. Also, check out the Dr. Rye section. After all that, if you can't determine what team may have worn your helmet, just ask Dr. Rye.
