Re: Falcons Helmet

Jacuzzi & Cohibasmoker,
How about posting some photos of the Tampa / Bell helmet, Campbell / Saints, Oilers and Raiders suspensions.

Sure. I have not been able to find a Campbell picture with this mask, I think it may have been changed at some point.

Re: Falcons Helmet

Oops - I forgot the scans. I've managed to locate a replacement facemask for the Oilers helmet and it looks a 100% better.

Here is the mask that was thought to be from your Oilers helmet. You can also see the funky decal Seahawks helmet as well as the Browns & Cardinals helmets that Real Stuff Sports picked up.

Re: Falcons Helmet

Hi Jim,

Here is what I know...

I talked with him extensively and he stated he was selling them for a friend that needed to sell them but did not know how. Since he had an eBay store, he offered to sell them for him. (He usually sells tin toy cars/trucks). That's all he would say. After talking with him, and getting a feel for his character (he's a Marine maybe in his 70's) I felt comfortable buying the amount of helmets I did.

I was able to pick up 14 of the helmets and was lucky enough to have first pick of all the helmets he had before he listed them on eBay. Since i usually collect 80's Bike helmets, & because I only had a limited amount of money , I passed on the suspension helmets & any duplicates that I already had. (Although even though I purchased 2 Falcons helmets from him I had to buy the Riggs helmet as well.) However, I was able to pick up a really cool Ricky Bell Tampa Bay helmet & an Earl Campbell Saints helmet. The two that got away were an early 80's Buffalo Bills helmet & the PPI Oilers helmet (with the it's mask that was unattached) that I beleive you picked up.

Happy collecting!
Darrin

if you would like me to take a look at any of your helmets, just let me know - you can send scans to livie@horizoncable.com...

Re: Falcons Helmet

In a round about way, I ended up with these two Seahawk helmets from that lot:

1976 Steve Myer Rookie Helmet:



Curt Warner 1989 M155:


The jury's still out on/if Curt Warner actually wore this lid, since, it had some decals that didn't look quite right. However, I replaced the decals to the proper set they wore in 1989. Plus, all of the other components match up to what Curt wore that year. I still have the decals, just in case I find out they were some sort of weird prototype set, or, mis-print.

I am a Wolverines collector and love to see Michigan helmets.

The Oilers helmet IS a Protective Products helmet and the Raiders helmet is a Wilson F2012.
