i won this lot in the memory lane auction the other night; was wondering if anyone has seen these before??

as the auction description states, these helmets are exact replicas of the first major league helmets (that were first worn around 1941). what i'm wondering is if any of u guys have seen these replica helmets before (in an unsigned state); at first i thought they were an item that cooperstown collection currently produces, but judging by most of the autographs on them that i can discern, many of the players are deceased and have been so for many years (for example, vic lombardi--who signed the dodgers helmet--passed away in december 1997, which means these helmets are at least 11 years old). i dont know if they still produce these helmets or when they originally did, so any help would be much appreciated.
