1935 Goldsmith No. PC
1930 Goldsmith No. PH
c. 1930 8-Point Princeton
The Princeton-Style flattop was discontinued in the mid-1920's by manufacturers that focused instead on more substantial and heavily padded designs. In 1929, P. Goldsmith & Sons of Cincinnati, Ohio introduced the 8-Point Princeton Flattop, a more rigid design with a flat strap leather top attached to the body at eight points. The No. PH was marketed as a "light weight type suitable for warm climates or for players desiring a light weight helmet." By 1935, Goldsmith had modified the PH to incorporate fibre reinforcing in the crown and body.
