What vintage are you looking for? New vintage style or actual old helmets?

My personal favorite is Sir Sterling Moss's Cromwell helmet:

I am really not sure....
I truly appreciate and 'dig' the look of these helmets.
...found a link to some bike helmets....but have seen a cool one with a visor (kind of like a space helmet) on the BackDraft site video where the cars twist thru the hills of Europe.

I love old helmets!

If you're looking for old helmets for display or collecting, eBay is probably your best bet.

i tried e bay... but .. what is the best 'title' to put in..
it gets squirrelly fast: with vintage helmets...

LMH 11-21-2013 07:13 PM

Try "Vintage Racing Helmet". That cuts the field down a lot.

Motorcycle and car swap meets are always a good source - and flee markets...

I tried the E Bay way once also and came up with very little. How about this new one, I don't see a price.
