1951-53 Notre Dame Menil Mavraides Game-Used Football Helmets (2)
Offensive guard Menil Mavraides was a standout at the University of Notre Dame and wore these two helmets during his years with the Fighting Irish. Both come from the man nicknamed "Minnie"; the first being a MacGregor with "MAVRAIDES 85" on the reverse in pen on vintage athletic tape. It is consistent Gold with a black stripe. The second helmet has no maker but is of the highest quality and certainly worthy of the highest level of play, The gold helmet with Black stripes on top is a size 7 3/8. For accuracy, the numbers 82 and 50 are on the inside padding, so this helmet could have been used by another player earlier on. Both are consistent with Irish helmets of this time period and among the finest quality pieces money can buy. During His Sophomore Year at Notre Dame, Mavraides was instrumental in helping the Irish beat the 9-0 Rose Bowl-bound USC Trojans at home by recovering a late-game fumble deep in Trojan territory. His Senior year, Notre Dame finished the season 9-0-1 and was runner up to the National Championship, featuring an unprecedented 12 future NFL draft picks. Mavraides went on to play for the Philadelphia Eagles.
