Old Romer Motorcycle Helmet 1950's Era

This is an old Romer helmet that dates back to the 50's. I am sure the paint job is a more recent addition. No idea what the Japanese caricature means.

There is a story behind this hat......I had an original but unrestored Moto One BMX bike. A guy wanted the Moto One but I was not interested in selling, it had been picked up on the cheap! He knew I collected helmets so he scoured the swap meets around Los Angeles until he found this. So for a little bit of cash and this helmet, he is the proud owner of the Moto One. Both of us are pleased.

This is a great hat that any of the current Cafe Racer/Ton Up types would love to have.

Vintage Arai H A 3/4 Motorcycle Helmet

This is an old Arai,back then they were called H A. Arais have always built quality and that is evident when looking at this hat, 40 years old and has stood the test of time. Arai should do some retro model with the H A logo. The original owner of this helmet was a vodka drinker no doubt. That is not a sticker on the front of the helmet, it is a Smirnoff cloth patch that has been glued on!

The diamond chain stitching on the trim is great. I have a couple of these old H.A's and I admire the commitment to quality every time I handle one.

Vintage Arthur Fulmer AF40 Eagle Motorcycle Helmet

This is a burgundy colored Fulmer AF40 Eagle. It is not in the best of shape.

Old Childs Motorcycle Helmet

No makers tag or other identifying marks on this one. Colorful graphics and I got it on the cheap!

Early 70's Vintage Harley Davidson Motorcycle Helmet

Here is an Early 70's Harley Davidson helmet. The stars and stripes number one is a dead giveaway to the AMF period. The smoke colored shield has warped over the years but that is okay, I don't think this hat is going to see anymore action. As I have said in past posts, I keep the helmets in as found condition, giving them only a cleaning before hanging them.

Vintage Vetter Fiber 200 Motorcycle Helmet

Vintage Vetter Fiber 200. That reads like a tongue twister and sounds like a cereal for Grandma. This is a nice example of a Vetter helmet, I believe these were made by Bell so that explains the quality. It has a fiberglass shell and the lining is a terry cloth like fabric that is comfortable. The graphics are nice looking, overall a nice moto hat!

Vintage 1960's Japanese Motorcycle Helmet

This is an older Japanese helmet that has no makers tag on it. I sold one a few years back that was identical to this one,it was a Shoei. As you can see the side and bottom of the helmet are wide. It does have ear/side flaps that would cover you from the elements.
