c.1950, made of aluminum in a classic rigid dome-shape with an attached inner lining and brown leather chin strap from a vintage aviator's cap; the trim around the circumference is red tape while a yellow rubber baby's pacifier is affixed to the top; the entire surface displays intricate and detailed engravings hand-rendered by Dutch himself, spelling out various brand names of motorcycles: Triumph, Levis, Excelsior, James, Rudge, BSA, Coventry Eagle, H-D, BMW, Scott, Moto Guzzi, Indian, Crocker, Zundapp, Velocette, Condor, Yamaha, Honda, Ariel, JAP, XAVW, Sachs, DKW Wankel and Motosachoche. Additionally, Von Dutch added his own now-famous logo (his name etched in cursive script inside a heraldic-style placard) directly on the rear center of the piece. (It's likely that this was the first engraving on the helmet, to identify its owner.) Height: 7in Circumference: 29in
