Just purchased an old leather hairnet helmet and gloves at a local antique show that was described as 1920s-1930s vintage.  They were purchased at a South Carolina estate auction, with the helmet being signed by the original owner, "A. J. CORDEN".

Posted photos of these items on Wool Jersey and would greatly appreciate any comments and/or verification of the true age vintage of these items (especially the gloves):
