Title: If you thought the Tuffers helmet hilarious have a look at this
Post by: 97notout on September 24, 2013, 07:35:23 AM

My first lid, bought sometime in the 80's. It was covered in blue cloth but I had to take it off because the cloth on the underneath of the peak caused me to lose sight of the ball.
I found the old pro's trick of covering the peak with sticking plaster or white tape didn't do it for me.

An old C & D by Albion, the grill is made from thin scaffold poles, or at least that's what it felt like when you wore it
