I guess "ol time" in this instance means before they added the face cage to the helmet. Like when I was young. Was at the diner the other day drinkin coffee and whittlin, when the conversations all turned to football. Instead of a Santa being whittled, this little football player came out of the wood. Maybe it was Buckeye wood! I got him sittin on a penny so you can see howsmall he is.Saturday, November 15, 2008

He certainly has the look of "I've been kicked around" lol
ReplyDeleteI remember those helmets. Almost the same shape as leather flight hats.
He's so charming... as always *wink*
