1930s-40s Wilson Black Leather Wing-Front “Transition” Football Helmet.
Lot 178. 1930s-40s Wilson Black Leather Wing-Front “Transition” Football Helmet. What makes this helmet transitional is the hard plastic shell inside the leather outer shell. As the 1950s wore on, plastic would replace leather altogether in the manfacturing of football helmets. This Wilson Model D265A, size 7 ½”, has “Airlite” cushion original rubber padding inside. The head cushioning straps and chin strap are original. The piping shows wear, and the helmet has seen good game action.
Winning Bid $446.
