<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Firemandk, post: 2158791, member: 7258&quot;]I bought&nbsp; a &quot;Bear Safety Service&quot; pith helmet in an antique store in San Jose , out of a barrel of hockey sticks, baseball bats , crutches and the like , it had 52&nbsp; pencil signatures all over it .... kept it in a closet&nbsp; in my old mobile home for 15 years in a pillow case and once in a while would take it out to try to decipher all the signatures..... turned out , it belonged to a pit inspector at Indianapolis and he had it signed over the course of two years : On the sweet spot on top, the actress Carol Landis, one of the last signatures before she killed herself.... on the side brim, Clark Gable ....&nbsp; Spider Webb, Joie Chitwood , Ralph Depalma, a couple of drivers that died during the 47 / 48 races ( if I remember correctly) , it was like an Indy Car&nbsp; collectors dream.... when Ebay first started, I sold it to a dentist who was an Indy nut for $600 , he was so excited he won he called me at 1 in the morning after the auction......lol...he had a special glass cabinet made for it .....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
