    curtis, jim, helmet hut and historic helmets. i can't even begin to imagine just how in the dark helmet enthusiasts would be, all of us, if not for the tremendous amount of historical information curtis and jim have so generously and freely shared with all of us through the years. i don't know squat about bats but i seem to remember that bat record info once rested in the hands of the very few - a very small group that was reluctant to freely share the information. this could have easily been the case with football helmets had riddell manufacturing records and historical info rested in the hands of similar folk. but, fortunately for helmet enthusiasts, this info was instead obtained by extremely generous and passionate collectors, curtis and jim, who made it immediately available to everyone through their tremendous online virtual helmet museum, helmet hut. great pics michael (and curtis)!
