Knit Helmet Given to Charles A. Lindbergh

Henry, Mary

1929-1933

This large knit helmet is a dark brown color. It was made by Madame Mary Henry of Paris, France, who sent it to Charles A. Lindbergh around 1930. Madame Henry made a similar knit helmet for Anne Morrow Lindbergh as well (1933.40.441). The piece covers the head and back and sides of the neck, and it straps to the front of the neck with a flap and two buttons. Charles Lindbergh donated this helmet to the Missouri Historical Society in 1933.
