I'm not certain if that helmet is a true antique now, but certain of those open-faced Bell helmets are developing quite a a level of excitement when they arise for sale. And the truly unspoiled examples appear to sell rather well, too. Then you can find the the old Shoei open face helmets that often appear to get bought up promptly, especially when in NOS (New Old Stock) shape. And, it appears to be that just about everything that has a "flake" paint job - gold with bright red appear trendy - sell without delay and for a lot of money. Face it, a brightly-colored retro motorcycle helmet looks magnificent.

Considering this, there are essentially hundreds or thousands of old helmets that can be considered , and many of them are pretty economical to buy - go ahead and check them out for yourself!
