Default 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?

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

Thanks for posting!

I've only seen one other. And it might have been in the same auction as where this man saw/won it. Possibly Oregon Trail or Mastro-West. I did not know at the time how scarce it would be, and would've bid a lot higher, had I only known. GREAT post!
