Nations Attic Winter 2026 Diving Into History
Lot 77:
Description
This is a scarce US Navy heavyweight Dive boot. This example was made by Bomar Corp, more commonly known for the USN dive knives they made during the war. This boot could be considered new old stock; it’s that nice! On the inside wood sole, it is dated September 1954 along with the company name. Single boot weighs approximately 19 pounds. It would be difficult to find a nice example.
