I know nothing about old football helmets, but that's either Bobby Layne's helmet from the early 1960s (which means it's worth a small fortune), or a knockoff of his helmet that was created at the time or many years later (which is probably the case since the helmet is in such nice shape). Not only did he wear No. 22, but I believe Layne was the last QB who didn't wear a face mask, and maybe the last player who didn't wear one.

I'm curious how much you're selling the ice cream lids for. I'd love to pick up a couple ...

it is a steelers bobby layne helmet but im leaning toward repro, me and another member chatted about it. Its almost flawless. I gotta figure out these dixie lids before im comfortable selling some. Was hoping there was a guide for them out there but just a bunch of pop up single article web pages. Ill keep you posted they are definitely a cool time period item IMO.

I'd be interested in the helmet if you do look to sell it at some point.

Found some golf passes/tickets.................. some autographed, not too sure on value . Probably going to have to do some digging.

That Arnold Palmer auto with the Billy Casper tag is real enough! Not sure about Casper though...
