    Description

    This is a very rare Norfolk Neptunes game worn helmet from 1963 through roughly 1967.  The Norfolk Neptunes were an American Professional Football Team based out of Norfolk Virginia.  They played in the CFL (Continental Fooball League) through 1969 and then moved to the ACFL (Atlantic Coast Football League) from 1970 and 1971.  They were the most popular professional team outside of the NFL, drawing over 13,000 fans each game.  They won the ACFL Championship in 1971 and then folded following that season.
    This helmet was sourced with some other Neptune items from the equipment manager of that team.  You have never seen another one like it.  There were several helmets purchased from this gentleman with this one having the logos on the helmet that it has.  The helmet has a datecode of 1963 on the interior of the helmet.  It also has the original Riddell TK5 sticker on the inside along with the older Riddell font heat stamps on the rear of the helmet.  .  The helmet is in great shape - with some paint issues as shown in the photos.  A tough TK model to find.  It is all original and complete with the 2-bar facemask and the original jawpads, and even the interior crown doughnut, which is warped a bit but present.
    Excellent gift for the fan in your life.  Shipping is just 35.00 UPS Ground or USPS in the cont. United States.   We are also looking for Packer game used helmets if you own one and would like to sell it or trade.  Contact us.
