    Description

    Vintage Space Pilot Helmet made by Tarco Toys/The Tarrson Toy Company (Chicago, Illinois) from the 1950s. The Space Pilot Helmet was called the “Planetary” Toy for a “Space-Flight” Boy. When it was placed on your head, you could “sound like whizzing through space when you ride your bike, roller skate, run or coast in your wagon.” There are some condition issues to this very old toy (nearly antique!).
