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 really dig the helmet the guy has in this vid: SUNDAY OF THUNDER.mp4 - YouTube

Another fav... a vintage Les Leston:



I love old helmets!

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

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.


Brown leather piping, suede inserts, and ultra soft leather stand out in OMP Racing’s Vintage Collection of helmets, boots and gloves, all inspired by 60s Bullitt-star Steve McQueen. - See more at: http://theawesomer.com/vintage-racin....Bf6RzRci.dpuf
