NrMnt in Box Bell Toptex 500TX Helmet Visor Bubble Face Shield Vintage 1968 Snell Holy Grail Sz 7 5/8

This one belongs in a museum.🔥🔥🔥

Hands down without a doubt the absolute BEST ONE YOU WILL EVER FIND.🔥🔥🔥

Helmet has only extremely light signs of use wear whatsoever. The chin strap alone is still stiff like new, I had trouble holding it out of my way to photograph the helmet interior! The entire surface of the helmet has like new gloss & sheen. Only the most minor scuff marks & extremely light discoloration around the molding contact points. The foam has long since deteriorated but the interior remains sterling clean. All stickers are 100% intact and not so much as fading, let alone beginning to peel. I don’t even think the visor or bubble face shield have ever been attached. All snaps look shiny & new. I’m likely the first person to have touched the visor since it’s manufacture & original packing. The bubble shield is CRYSTAL CLEAR. Snaps look so clean they appear stainless & shiny new. Again, likely never attached. There are faint scuffs only & two tiny discoloration marks likely from storage wear & having the receipt & original manual in close proximity. Oh yea, it has the original manual, warranty card & sticker as well as both original purchase receipts. One receipt for the helmet on 4/22/1969 and another one, four days later at a different cycle shop, for the bubble face shield on 4/26/1969. All original packaging, including the still sealed extra parts pack, original sticker, original manual, and unfilled out original warranty card are all present in the absolutely phenomenally preserved original box! Only a hand written “$37.00” likely from the original cycle shop clerk who first displayed & merchandised it. Otherwise the box is probably the best preserved piece of 50+ year old cardboard I’ve ever seen. Light discoloration & minimum storage wear only.

Stored in the back of an interior linen closet for 50+ years, this helmet box with all its contents was discovered at a central California estate I purchased earlier this year, in the same town it was purchased in just under 55 years ago.

It’s an absolute gem. 🔥🔥🔥

I hope someone gives it the display it deserves.🔥🔥🔥

It will be shipped carefully in an oversize box with both insurance and signature delivery confirmation.
