Product code: Extremely HTF top '60s Spanjian Wrestling Headgear
Great shape, Spanjian was a very popular sporting goods company out of California, I believe, and they produced wrestling uniforms and headgear for a while in the 50s and 60s, but had little luck with the headgear design because headgear was not a mandatory item like it is now. I found this pair as an early adopter of the "gear obsessive" high school wrestler. People thought I was a nut back then collecting boxes of old wrestling gear. I wore these a number of times in high school and the design is actually excellent. It never came off, but occasionally the button would unsnap and I'd look like a lost WWI pilot fighting someone in my undies out there on the mat. top I'd probably refrain from wearing them every practice and match, they are 50-60 years old at this point.
