Early leather helmets like this example provided very little protection in comparison to today's helmets. A smooth later of leather, a half inch of padding and a couple of doughnut style ear flaps was all one was give. Over time these helmets became obsolete in the quest to better protect players. The rain cap helmet is remarkably intact with the only condition issues being a broken chin strap hole, and the helmet could use one or two stitches on the left ear flap.
Condition: (Excellent).
Item Dimensions: 10 - 1/4" x 10 - 1/2".
