Rio Grande Industries logo, used 1948–1967 This is an older SUPERLITE FIBRE METAL Chester PA "TM" for trademark 1960's Safety Helmet with the above 1948 to 1967 Maine Line Thru The Rockies RIO GRANDE (Industries Logo) I suspected the helmet was from the 1960's based on the markings such as TM, Instead of R in a circle under the front bill and the Lack of UNION Made note on the inner front side paper label. I speculated that it was pre 1964 as there was no Zip Code on the paper label but in researching I saw no paper labels with a Zip code for Chester PA. As a result I went to the Rio Grande history site and determined that the Logo on the helmet was used only up to 1967. This generally confirms my thought that the helmet is from the 1960's likely from between 1963 and 1967. (This is my best estimate) As to condition the helmet was purchased at a yard sale and I was told it was Grandpas and that he got it at his retirement party. I did not really know to ask when that was but the family selling the item was downsizing the estate and they were in their 50's to early 60's. (Around 5 years ago) The condition is NEVER USED. Short of not having the box it could be called NEW OLD STOCK. I estimate it is between 48 and 52 years old. (Note this again is my best estimate of age) The helmet is in 100% condition no major scratches scrapes or dents there is no soiling from use and the suspension system nylon cord is clean and bright. Please feel free to ask questions. The helmet came from the metro Denver Colorado area.
