In the 1930s professional football teams donned their players in leather football helmets. This lot includes a vintage circa 1930s Spalding ZH1 Model leather football helmet. Despite its age the leather headpiece remains in surprisingly good shape as the stitching for the most part remains intact. The Spalding manufacturers trademark logo is deeply stamped onto the front of the helmet in the forehead area and the 1 1/2 wide leather cross straps across the top of the helmet are in remarkably good shape. The helmets model number (ZH1) is clearly stamped to the immediate left of the Spalding logo on the front. The side leather ear protectors protrude down and remain in very good shape as well. This piece of vintage football equipment would certainly prove to be an interesting conversation piece for gridiron fans who appreciate the sports early days.

Includes Letter of Provenance from the Helms Athletic Foundation/LA84 Collection.
