Thanks for the kind words, everyone! I feel so lucky!!

Ah, that makes sense. In that case, go do that man a favor. He deserves it.

I wrote him a nice thank you note and I'm going to give him a gift card he can use to go out to dinner or something.

You are now responsible for a nice piece of history that you rescued from oblivion.

Don't worry, I will! I plan to bring it into school and share it with my students when I teach my unit on W.W.II

I just learned a little bit of the back story about this helmet.

The man who dropped it off at our recycling facility originally bought it from an antique store in the 60s to use as a motorcycle helmet. He wanted to repaint it, but never got around to it. He then got out of the motorcycle hobby and the helmet sat in his closet for years.

This helmet really dodged a bullet... twice! Being ground up by our recycling machines AND being repainted/ used as a motorcycle helmet!
