Ok, how about the Tommy-Ray space gun accessory helmet, it was produced by B-W Molded Plastics out of Pasadena, CA in the 50's...it is depicted on the gun's box.

Date?

Was there an earlier version made by Goodyear and sold as a Buck Rogers item?

Thanks for posting Joe. Very interesting story about the use of the space Helmet, It looks like the young spaceman has a small water ray gun with water reservoir, maybe the Knickerbocker Midjet AmmoTank (space jet gun with remote water tank).
