I sold a chrome helmet last year but they are relatively rare but I think the Johnny Cecotto one on the page you included in your posting is probably more rare.
I've seen some of the helmet clocks before that were tough to separate, I simpley tried change of temperature to get them apart. So try from room temperature to the refrigerator for 15 minutes / then if that doesnt work try the opposite ie. from cold to warm. It worked perfectly for me.
Good luck - Darren
