Nation's Attic Diving Into History Auction 2025 + More
Lot 136:
Description
This is a nice unrestored diving helmet, likely made in Turkey and used as a sponge helmet. This is a 4-light (windows) 12-bolt diving helmet in the classic configuration. The helmet is complete with a nice patina on the copper body and brass hardware. The bonnet & breastplate thread together with ease. Internal air vents and exhaust chin button are intact. Take note of the helmet’s construction style and the seam on the top of the bonnet. This helmet has a lot of character, making it the perfect display piece!
All diving helmets in this auction will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Nations Attic. The certificate will have a unique number that will match the number on a tamperproof hologram decal placed inside the helmet. This information will be kept on permanent file at Nations Attic and help ensure the provenance of the helmet and authenticity.
All items will be shipped with a signature required upon delivery and full insurance either via FedEx or the USPS Priority Mail. Worldwide shipping is available; however, no ocean freight will be offered on large items. DHL express is an option for international shipments under 600 pounds via air. A shipping quote prior to the auction can be provided by emailing your postal code.
