The Original Baseball Batting Helmet From 1905

I saw this video on Antiques Roadshow. Never knew these existed. Very cool piece of history. I wonder if any members have one?

Weird, it was working for me but now I’m getting the same thing.
It was called the evolution of batting helmets, It had some great photos of some crazy ideas for batting helmets .. oh well
Edit : No guarantee but now it’s working again

In all my decades of looking at old bb stuff, I'd never seen that before.

Thanks for posting!
