Herman Munster’s (Fred Gwynne) Knight Helmet - THE MUNSTERS (1964 - 1966)


Herman Munster’s (Fred Gwynne) helmet from the first aired episode of the family comedy The Munsters. Fashioned after a knight’s armor, the oversize fiberglass helmet is painted to resemble antique metal with simulated rivets. The helmet is of a Medieval style with a practical, hinged visor and horizontal eye openings with a flat top to replicate Herman’s shape. The helmet is in excellent, production-used, vintage condition overall.

Herman wears his helmet during a masquerade, where he meets Marilyn Munster’s (Beverly Owen) boyfriend. Throughout the episode, the helmet allows him to remain incognito around those who would otherwise be frightened of his appearance. Ultimately, Herman wins the costume contest: first as a knight, then after revealing his face, as a monster.

Included with this lot is an 8x10" reference photo showing the piece.
