M17A1 Kelley
A recent acquisition from an antique store in Williamsburg, Virginia. I'm not a big US headgear collector but I do enjoy these Kelley helmets. I believe they are under appreciatedThis one even has a fingerprint in the paint (see last photo, just below maker mark). Click for enlarged photos.
Enjoy
Cool Kelley, the best thing about them is the light brown leather liner that is easy to write on and is occasionally soldier and unit marked.
Interesting that you mention that! This one has "Williams" written on one tongue with an 8 digit number below it. I couldn't get it to show up on photos because it is written lightly. I may be able to put a full name with this helmet.by relicz
That is a Great looking helmet..........!

A nice helmet, Todd!
In this condition, I would have scooped it also

In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig. CE

A very nice helmet Todd, in fine order with just the right amount of wear. Leon.
Great pick up. I really like how much of the texture remains on it.

Thank you for the additional comments. It was fitting to find it on Pearl Harbor anniversary weekend.
