Description
Rocket Man Tristram Coffin as "Jeff King" hero helmet from King of the Rocket Men. Rocket Man Tristram Coffin as "Jeff King" hero helmet from King of the Rocket Men. (Republic, 1949) This is a rare hero Rocket Man helmet from the vintage serial King of the Rocket Men. The helmet measures 12 in. tall x 9.25 in. in diameter. The helmet is a 2-part Fiberglas shell construction composed of main conical helmet and faceplate, textured and then painted silver overall. The faceplate features two eye socket openings for lenses and a wire screened mouth port. The faceplate is attached with one central .75 in. hinge at the top of the faceplate and the sides are secured to the hull of the helmet by two old-fashioned rain jacket-style snaps at either side. Internally there are metal brackets for attaching a helmet liner, rubber chin pad and slides above and below the eye holes that would have held lenses in place. "T. Coffin" is written in red grease pencil at the peak of the inside of this helmet for Tristran Coffin, the actor who played "Jeff King" (The Rocket Man)! Some chipping from age and production use, otherwise in very good condition. Special shipping arrangements will apply.Loading guides...
