Mississippi State Game Used Riddell TK suspension helmet. The helmet has the Bulldog logo on each side - a logo which they only wore from 1963-65. The helmet has a datecode in the crown of the helmet from 1963. The helmet is all original and complete as sourced - with the original suspension, jawpads, chinstrap, and 2-bar BD-9 mask from 1963. The helmet has its crown rubber doughnut - which is warped and stiff. The helmet shows moderate exterior and interior game wear. The helmet has early Riddell heat stamps on the rear of both sides flanking the center ridge of the helmet. A very rare helmet of a highly desireable model, that obviously saw at least one year of action on the gridiron.
