Description

Space Patrol Outer Space Plastic Helmet with Box (Beemark Plastics, 1952). Launch into the retro-futuristic thrills of 1950s sci-fi with this vintage lot featuring the Official Space Patrol Helmet, released by Beemark Plastics in 1952. This Space Patrol Outer Space Helmet is a classic example of early space-age toy design, constructed from molded clear plastic with face ports on both the front and back, open ear slots, and a bold red tape seam running over the crown, paired with blue trim circling the neck port. A prominent "Space Control, Commander" decal, measuring 3.5 by 2 inches, sits at the front, showing little scuffing and scratches despite the years. Originally sold in toy stores during the heyday of space serials, this helmet offered young dreamers a tangible connection to their favorite cosmic adventures. It shows minor discoloration, wear, and surface scratches, along with slight warping between the front face port and neck opening. The helmet comes complete with its original instruction sheet preserved in shrink-wrap on cardboard, an extra loose copy of the instructions, air tubes, extra decal, and box, which displays heavy handling wear including corner bends, creases, dents, writing in pen, and age-related wear throughout. A nostalgic beacon of mid-century imagination, this helmet remains a standout relic from the early days of space-age play.
