All-round athlete Art Upper, a member of the 1933 Grey Cup-winning Toronto Argonauts, wore this sensational brown and black vintage football helmet in circa '33, the only year Mr. Upper would play for the Argos, when he suited up for 6 regular season games and 3 playoff games, capped off by his team's big 4-3 Grey Cup win over the Sarnia Imperials. This leather beauty features lettering on the wing-style front as "Goldsmith Viking" as well as the patent number D-80880, with the overall condition of this helmet simply stunning, showing the usual scuffs and scratches associated with the normal goings-on of the playing field, with even the chin strap still attached. Inside, an extra piece of foam was added at some point for a tad more protection. Just a gorgeous relic.
