This is an Apollo pressure helmet used by various astronauts during training sessions.

The Apollo pressure helmet was a blow-molded, clear polycarbonate shell with a molded bayonet base which was bonded to the helmet neck ring. The neck ring was the male half of the suit neck-ring assembly, and there were two configurations used on Apollo suits which were not interchangable. The earlier configuration was anodized blue, with the later configuration being anodized red.

Transferred from NASA - Johnson Space Center in 1985.
