I was looking at some estate sale pictures a few nights ago and I noticed this in a picture of old hockey gear.

On a whim I looked it up and was shocked to see this particular helmet go for over $250 regularly.

If I had gone to the same estate sale and walked by it I wouldn't even bother looking it up.

I paid $20 for it so it wasn't cheap, but I am still stumped as to why this particular helmet is so sought after? I saw other vintage cooper hockey gear like gloves and pads and such and there is a little bit of a market but nothing like $250 or more for a single helmet.

So keep an eye out for these, they can bring a pretty penny. But if anyone has some insight as to why please let me know. Thanks.
 

From some very quick research it seems that nostalgia coupled with the fact that they fall apart very quickly is driving the price. Make sure you allow Canadian bidders!
