The easiest way is to FIRST determine what type it is.
1. If it's a British Pith helmet and it's white in color; then look for the date in which the Zulu Wars were fought in Africa; because that's the date (general time frame) that that particular style & color was used by Great Britains army.
2. If it's a British Pith helmet and khaki in color; it might be the Boer War, also fought in Africa (against the Dutch). That'll date that particular helmet around 1899 thru 1902.
3. A model 1916 "scuttle bucket" will be the WWI German steel helmet with Frankenstein lug nuts located at the front (two of them). Those "nuts" are for holding a special steel plate (extra armor) in place over the man's forehead, as a machinegunner, his head is exposed more than a standard rifleman's head, thus the extra armor.
4. If it's an Olive Green (or terribly faded green) cloth covered pith helmet with (or without) a star on it's front, it's most likely an NVA pith helmet from the Vietnam War, dating from about '65 thru '75. Those are being commercially made for the tourist industry in the 21st century (they are still the same original helmet-official military standards/just newer).
You are NEVER too old for a helmet!
Its over 50 years old.
Everyone has to wear a helmet no matter what age! :)
No, and why would you ask? And maybe you could if it was a old leather helmet. But given you're talking about Skullcandy I assume a standard Skateboarding helmet or BMX helmet or perhaps even snowboarding helmet.
Ask the guy who originally bought it.
You should always wear a helmet to protect your brain from injury.

You can wear a helmet at pretty much any age. Depending on location and local laws, sometimes you don't have to wear a helmet once past a certain age.
There is no age standard for helmet sizes, A helmet is sized according to the circumference of the persons head. Taking a tailors tape measure, measure from the tip of one ear back to the tip of the ear, Then determine which helmet feels comfortable to the shape of the persons head, Make sure it's comfortable and does not move front to back or side to side. Listed below is a link to the size chart from the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute.
