Iconic Kirby Morgan SuperLite 17 Diving Helmet
Description
This is a very nice example of the iconic Kirby Morgan SuperLite 17 commercial diving helmet, serial number 94900.

Having spent countless hours underwater, this helmet displays honest signs of use consistent with its working history, yet shows no evidence of significant abuse. Its original condition and connection to a commercial diving school add to its character and appeal.
Whether you’re a collector of historic diving equipment or simply looking for an impressive nautical display piece, this authentic, well-preserved SuperLite 17 would make an outstanding addition to any collection!
