Metal Lunch Meat Helmet
 

I recently went home and found some of these and wondered if anyone had more information on them.

I was given these by my neighbor when I was little, back in the late 60's, I think, and I think they were part of lunch meat packaging, Oscar Mayer, I believe.

I can remember looking forward to getting a new one now and then.

I usually read the vintage baseball forum, but haven't participated much on the football forum.

Any help would be appreciated.

Metal Lunch Meat Helmet
 

Hi Alan,

They were issued with Hormel sliced lunch meat back in 1965. Somewhere I have an old newspaper ad advertising the trays.

Thanks Mike!

A couple of the teams in that set of Hormel Meat trays (lids) have a background color variation.

Do you have other teams, and do you plan to sell them?

I don't plan to sell them at this point, but I have:

Steelers
49ers
Vikings
Cowboys
Lions
Browns
Colts with blue background
Redskins
Rams (2)

-Alan

Which background is the Cowboys lid, green or white?

All white except for the colts

Alan,

Can you post an image of the Colts one ?
Thanks.
