revolutionary and allowed for easier shallow water work, research, and even underwater photography. the body of the helmet is made of copper with a brass handle, an air-fitting elbow, and a round window frame. the front and back of the helmet feature an band of copper that allowed for specially made lead weights to be attached. there were also round holes for the use of brass hardware to secure the lead from falling off the helmet. a simple yet brilliant design that today is recognized as the father of american shallow water diving helmets. with many of the surviving examples being over 100 years old, few appear on the market for sale.this helmet features a very nice copper body with a slight patina. all the original brass hardware is intact including the carry handle, air fitting, and round window frame. glass is intact but a little loose. the front window frame does feature serial #158, one of the first couple of hundred ever made!mainly due to their age, finding

the us navy standard shallow water helmet.the style 2 divinhood utilized two angled glass windows on the front protected by brass bars. the large angled windows provided a great field of view but also

is a deep water variant! likely made as a special order, morse utilized the seldom seen model 15 shallow water top half with the large convex glass port and engineered it to thread onto their classic 12 bolt deep water breastplate. the result is a helmet with a superior wide ranging view for the diver while being able to work at depths not accessible by a shallow water helmet. the model 15 shallow water helmet was first made by morse in the early 1930s. while not as big of a seller as the miller dunn divinhood style 2 and 3, they were marketed towards police & fire units and the us navy. this helmet features the factory serial number 4922 on both neck rings and all four brails.it is our opinion that this helmet, based on the serial numbers and font style, is a bonnet that was made in the 1940s and then modified at a later date, by morse, into its current configuration. the breastplate and brails were made and serial numbered to match the bonnet. the id plate was also in use by morse during the 1960\u2019s, likely when it was modified for a customer. the helmet features a communication cup and fitting, mark v-style exhaust, air elbow, spring-loaded safety pin, mark v-style wing nuts, four brails, large curved glass port with frame, internal air vents, and exhaust chin button. the helmet does thread together, but the old neck ring gasket is gone. it should be noted that the breastplate features a very unique and attractive large dimple pattern in the copper body. if you enjoy unique helmets, have a shallow water helmet collection, or simply like the visual appearance of this helmet \u2013 this is a special opportunity to own one that will stand out from the rest! the display stand in the photos is not included. the option to purchase the stand at a discounted price will be available after the auction. 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

is one of the notable and visually unique diving helmets ever produced. made by the yokohama company in japan, this was one of their most popular and expensive helmets ever produced! used by divers worldwide for extreme deep diving, typically for the oil industry. this helmet is unique in that it was owned and used originally by international divers inc. in santa barbara, ca. it is serial number h04 as indicated by its id plate. similar-shaped brass id plates were also used on early kirby morgan helmets. looking directly at the front of the helmet, it is very similar to others made by yokohama during the 1960s. with a quick glance around the back, all the magic appears! incorporated into the back a compartment housing a canister containing a co2 absorbent. various plumbing and fittings are also part of the backside and front of the helmet, giving it an appearance unlike any other helmet made before or after. this helmet was well maintained and currently only exhibits minor superficial surface imperfections. it should be noted that the breastplate features the international divers serial number h04. the bonnet, stamped on a communications cup, is stamped h03. the two halves thread together with ease and have likely been together for decades. the bonnet and breastplate also have the letters cdc etched into them. after its time at international divers, the hat was sold to ocean corporation, a diving school in houston, tx, where it played a central role in shaping the careers of emerging commercial divers. after its working life, it was transitioned from the training tank to a prominent display in the school's lobby, serving as an inspiration to students for years. this history will be documented on the included certificate of authenticity provided to the winning bidder.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

highly functional \"square front port\" design seen today. kirby\u2019s craftsmanship is evident in the oversized front port, engineered to provide the diver with a significantly wider field of vision, and the addition of a front-mounted backup air fitting for a bailout bottle.beyond its custom geometry, the helmet was meticulously adapted with repairs and fittings to ensure compatibility with american diving equipment. it has since aged into a visual masterpiece, boasting a rich, authentic green patina that underscores its decades of history. remarkably well-preserved, the helmet

pioneered the design of the most iconic maritime apparatus ever conceived, earning a global reputation for excellence that has endured for nearly two centuries. while the company continues its operations in wisconsin today, its early 20th-century boston-made helmets remain the gold standard for collectors, representing a definitive era of industrial craftsmanship and underwater exploration.manufactured circa 1918, this distinguished diving helmet is a masterwork of early maritime engineering. constructed with a robust copper body and original brass hardware, the piece is remarkably well-preserved. its authenticity is verified by the matching serial number, 2571, which is stamped in all six critical locations: the bonnet and breastplate neck rings, as well as all four brails. this uniformity of numbering confirms the helmet's structural integrity and provides a clear chronological anchor for its manufacture during the great war era.the helmet features the quintessential \"three-light\" configuration, characterized by its classic round side ports and faceplate. architecturally, the bonnet is equipped with a communications cup situated on the diver\u2019s lower right-front, balanced by an exhaust valve on the rear right. the air fitting is centered on the back, adjacent to the communication fitting to its lower left. for operational security, the original safety latch remains intact on the rear, a vital mechanism designed to prevent the accidental separation of the bonnet from the breastplate while submerged.presented with its brilliant copper body and original brass accents, the helmet retains the unmistakable silhouette of the classic commercial diver. this example is exceptionally complete, featuring all original glass, the four serial-numbered brails, window guards, and twelve wing nuts\u2014notably comprising nine standard and three flanged variants. while the exhaust is missing its adjustment handle, the helmet remains functionally impressive with its original air and communication fittings. the bonnet exhibits \"working dents\" consistent with professional service, while subtle updates\u2014such as the brass shelf on the front of the breastplate neck ring and the repositioned communications cup\u2014attest to its life as a trusted tool that evolved alongside advancing technology. this is a wonderful example of a commercial model that was both rigorously used and expertly maintained throughout the golden age of diving.the display stand in the photos is not included. the option to purchase the

helmet was made by one of the famed and iconic manufacturers of the 19th and 20th centuries, the a. schrader's son company. located in brooklyn, new york, this company started making diving helmets and related equipment in the 1840s. throughout the 19th century, they would improve upon diving helmet design and become a supplier to the us navy. during the early 20th century their helmets would utilize the latest techniques in design and safety. in addition to supplying the us navy, schrader helmets and equipment were used by commercial divers around the world. schrader would go on to be a major supplier of the famed mark v from 1916 till after world war ii. today, helmets made by this company are prized among collectors for their iconic styles and place in diving history.dating to the late 1920s at the onset of the great depression, this a. schrader\u2019s son inc. diving helmet is a remarkable artifact of american industrial history. it features a classic copper body with all original brass hardware intact and present. a standout feature is the original manufacturer\u2019s id plate, which remains clearly stamped with a serial number that\u2014combined with the helmet\u2019s specific style\u2014allows for accurate dating to this pivotal era. during a time of immense economic hardship, commercial diving was a high-stakes, essential profession for those braving the depths to build the nation\u2019s infrastructure. this helmet serves as a quintessential example of the rugged, dependable gear used on the historic underwater projects that helped shape the country.this helmet is the classic standard configuration that schrader offered in their catalog at this time. that configuration consists of three windows or ports and twelve bolts on the breastplate. this helmet is a no-nonsense example of what an old school diver would have preferred at the time. the helmet is in very nice condition original condition. the copper body and brass hardware feature an old patina that is consistent. the helmet is complete with all its glass (faceplate glass cracked but solid), 12 wing nuts, four brails, exhaust valve, air fitting, safety pin with chain, window guards, non-return valve, and internal air vents. the old neck ring gasket is long gone. also, while it is hard to believe, all twelve wing nuts are contemporary, but factory correct. the top of the bonnet features typical working dents. the very top center has one larger dent, but it is not visually distracting. this classic brooklyn, new york, helmet has remained original for nearly one hundred years. it will make a wonderful helmet by itself or as part of a collection. the display stand shown in the photos is not included. the option to purchase one after the auction will

helmet was made by arguably the most famous american helmet maker, the a.j. morse & son company. located in boston, massachusetts, this company started making diving helmets and related equipment in the 1830s. morse would design some of the most iconic helmets ever conceived. in addition to helmets, the company would make all other related diving equipment, as well as firefighting gear. morse helmets have been known worldwide by divers for almost 200 years! the company is still in business in wisconsin today.this distinguished a.j. morse & son inc. diving helmet, manufactured circa 1909, represents a pinnacle of early 20th-century maritime engineering. constructed with a robust copper body and original brass hardware, the piece is remarkably well-preserved and features its original manufacturer\u2019s id plate. a hallmark of its authenticity is the matching serial number, 1487, which is stamped in all six critical locations: the bonnet and breastplate neck rings, as well as all four brails. this uniformity of numbering not only confirms the helmet's integrity but also allows us to date its manufacture to right after the turn of the century.architecturally, this helmet serves as a transitional artifact in diving history. it features the classic vertical oval side ports, a design utilized just prior to the shift toward round windows by aj morse. the three-light configuration includes a communications cup situated on the upper left-front of the bonnet, with the exhaust valve positioned on the rear right. the air fitting is centered on the back, adjacent to the communication fitting on the upper left. for operational safety, the original spring-loaded safety latch remains present on the rear, designed to prevent the accidental separation of the bonnet from the breastplate during submersion.what elevates this specimen to a premier collector\u2019s tier is its exceptional documented history. the helmet was owned and utilized by the o.i. carr company \u2013 divers of burlington, vermont. unlike many surviving helmets of this era, this example is accompanied by copies of original vintage photographs showing this exact helmet in active service. this rare photographic provenance provides a tangible link to its industrial past, transforming the helmet from a mere object into a narrated piece of history.the helmet is offered in unmistakable original condition, complete with all glass, twelve wing nuts, four brails, window guards, and its original safety pin. it retains specialized components, including an original morse non-return valve, modified internal air supply piping, and two internal reproducers. a notable historical detail is the leather strap with two brass rings on the front of the breastplate, which is clearly visible in the included archival photos. while the bonnet exhibits typical \"working dents\" consistent with professional use, the integrity of the piece remains uncompromised. evidence of a mid-century update is seen in the craftsweld stamped communication fittings; these modifications, combined with the 1950s action photos, prove this helmet was a trusted tool of the trade for over four decades.the display stand in the photos is not included. the option to purchase the stand at a discounted price will be available after the auction. all diving helmets in this auction will be accompanied by a certificate

of the most desirable and rare american diving helmets is the five-bolt pattern manufactured by the a.j. morse & son company of boston, massachusetts. often referred to as the us navy mark 1, this style was utilized by both the navy and commercial divers throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, predating the introduction of the iconic mark v in 1916. because most helmets in the navy's inventory were retrofitted into threaded styles after 1916, surviving original five-bolt examples are exceptionally rare. this specific model is distinguished by its unique construction, where the bonnet and breastplate are secured by five large bolts at the neck ring rather than the traditional threaded design favored by later models.this rare surviving example, serial number 1643, was manufactured circa 1912. its rarity is further enhanced by the fact that it is a full serial number matching piece; the number is clearly stamped on both the bonnet and breastplate neck rings, as well as on all four intact original brails. the helmet boasts a remarkable provenance, having been owned by a family-operated marine hardware and ship chandler\u2019s company in san francisco, california. it remained within the family\u2019s ownership for over a century until being consigned to us in 2026. this helmet is being offered alongside other historical items from the same business, including original a.j. morse and schrader catalogs from the 1930s and the company that owned this helmet, their catalog found in lot #104.presented in its original, as-found condition, the helmet displays the unmistakable, deep brown patina characteristic of a copper and brass hat exceeding 110 years of age. all five neck ring bolts are intact, with only one wing nut missing, and the four factory-matched brails are present, secured by four original and three later replacement nuts. the brass hardware on the bonnet remains remarkably complete, featuring the communications and air elbows, communications cap, exhaust valve, window guards, and communication cup. all glass is present and free of notable cracks or chips, and the faceplate threads effortlessly, indicating a well-preserved mechanical state.while the helmet is in good original condition, it does show minor evidence of its long working life. there are no significant dents on the top of the bonnet, though the areas surrounding the air fitting and exhaust are pushed in slightly. internally, the air vents are intact, though one has slightly separated from the bonnet wall. the exhaust body on the rear is loose but remains attached by the internal chin button. notably, the helmet underwent a period-correct modification likely within a decade of its manufacture, where the original communication fitting was patched and replaced with a larger fitting, one used by the mark v, adding a layer of authentic operational history to the piece.the helmet retains its original a.j. morse & son inc. oval brass id plate, which remains easily legible alongside the stamped serial numbers in all six locations. other original features, such as the bonnet eyelets and breastplate studs, remain perfectly preserved. given its impressive original patina, this helmet is a prime candidate for display exactly as it was found. the few missing components could be fabricated by morse, now located in wisconsin. a full sympathetic restoration could also be undertaken. regardless of the path chosen by its next owner, this imposing and historically significant helmet represents a premier opportunity to acquire a true treasure of american maritime history.the display stand in the photos is not included. the option to purchase the stand at a discounted price will be available after the auction. 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

helmet was made by arguably the most famous american helmet maker, the a.j. morse & son company. located in boston, massachusetts, this company started making diving helmets and related equipment in the 1830s. morse would design some of the most iconic helmets ever conceived. in addition to helmets, the company would make all other related diving equipment, as well as firefighting gear. morse helmets have been known worldwide by divers for almost 200 years! the company is still in business in wisconsin today.this distinguished a.j. morse & son inc. diving helmet, manufactured circa 1908, represents a pinnacle of early 20th-century maritime engineering. constructed with a robust copper body and original brass hardware, the piece is well-preserved and features its original manufacturer\u2019s id plate. its authenticity is the matching serial number, 1239, which is stamped on the bonnet and breastplate neck rings. the four brails are likely later replacements; they do not have a number stamped on them. serial #1239 allows us to date its manufacture to right after the turn of the century.architecturally, this helmet serves as a transitional artifact in diving history. it features the classic vertical oval side ports, a design utilized just prior to the shift toward round windows by aj morse. the three-light configuration includes the exhaust valve positioned on the rear right. the air fitting is centered on the back. both of these standard components are in their original positions. for operational safety, the original safety latch remains present on the rear, designed to prevent the accidental separation of the bonnet from the breastplate during submersion. on that note, we currently can not separate the bonnet from the breastplate. this is likely due to the old gasket expanding over the decades. the helmet will be shipped with the bonnet and breastplate together. the helmet is offered in good condition, complete with all glass

in 1830s boston, alfred hale & company was the premier\u2014and far more elusive\u2014rival to the famed a.j. morse & son. while hale helmets share the exceptional craftsmanship and aesthetic of their morse counterparts, they are distinguished by their extreme scarcity on the modern market. after transitioning to the alfred hale rubber company in 1917, the firm mysteriously vanished from the industrial record, leaving behind a limited legacy of high-quality engineering. today, these helmets are prized by collectors as some of the most desirable and prestigious american-made maritime artifacts of the 19th century.the three ports and two breastplate bolts is the classic configuration of american helmets from the early 20th century. the helmet also mirrors hale\u2019s competitor, a.j. morse & son, to the point it could be argued that a.j. morse was actually making the helmets for hale when this one was produced.the helmet features serial number 1503 on both the bonnet and breastplate neck rings. three of the brails also feature 1503 on them, with the front left brail having number 1872. the helmets glass is intact with the front faceplate glass having a small chip on one edge and one side port being cracked, but still solid. other original hardware still present are the port guards, exhaust, safety latch, and air fitting elbow. ironically, an antique a.j. morse & son inc non-return valve can be found on the air fitting. the helmet does feature a full set of hex-style bolts on the breastplate. the id plate has alfred hale rubber co. boston, mass u.s.a. on it proudly. the size, style, and even the font are extremely similar to the a.j. morse & son id plates of the early 20th century. the bonnet and breastplate do thread together as they should. a very old neck ring gasket is intact. the inside of the bonnet retains its air vents and exhaust chin button. the inside of the bonnet appears to have been cleaned. it\u2019s a safe assumption that this helmet was cleaned or polished long ago and has developed a patina on the outside, as shown in the many photos. while possibly cleaned, the bonnet does still exhibit very small working dents that should be expected with a helmet of this age. the area around the air fitting elbow is also pushed in slightly. this helmet represents an exceptional find for specialists in rare american gear and boston maritime history. for the advanced collector, it offers a rare opportunity to fill a critical gap with an elusive alfred hale rubber co. specimen\u2014a true cornerstone piece for any world-class

helmet was made by one of the most famous and also elusive american helmet makers, alfred hale & company. located in boston, massachusetts, this company would start making diving helmets and related equipment in the 1830s. alfred hale was a direct competitor to the a.j. morse & son company, also located in boston. in many cases, alfred hale helmets are very similar to a.j. morse helmets of the same time period. regardless of the similarities, alfred hale helmets are much more difficult to find. alfred hale would produce a company catalog in 1917, by this time changing their name to the alfred hale rubber company. after this date is it unclear how much longer they stayed in business. in the 21st century, alfred hale helmets are considered among collectors as some of the most desirable american made helmets of the 19th century.as stated above, this incredible helmet was made in late 19th century in boston, ma. the helmet has a copper body with brass hardware, all of which is present. the helmet features the original stamped company details on the breastplate. during the 1800s helmet makers simply stamped their name and location on the breastplate, rather than a separate id plate.the helmet is in very good preserved condition. the copper body and brass retain a nice patina, giving the helmet a consistent, rich appearance. the helmet is complete with all its glass, 12 wing nuts, four brails, two hose clamp thumb screws, air fitting, window guards, internal air vent at neck ring, and exhaust. the helmet exhibits typical small working dents on the top of the bonnet. there appears to have been a hole patched with copper on the top peak of the bonnet. there is one small spot on the lower front edge of the breastplate and two small spots on the lower edge of the back of the breastplate that have been professionally patched with copper as well. the breastplate does have some discoloration to the copper as well. these subtle signs of use from long ago, in our opinion, really make this helmet come alive!the alfred hale co only advertised two different styles of helmets for sale. we have included for reference a photo out of their catalog showing both helmet styles, this one is referred to as, receives air in the breast plate model. this model represents a style of helmet favored by some during the 19th century. the air fitting is located on the back of the breastplate. air is received via a vent on the inside breastplate neck ring, which would blow below the diver's chin. this configuration was a love it or hate it for divers, with a majority opting for the traditional method of air coming in via the bonnet.alfred hale helmets in any configuration are rare prizes for american helmet collectors. this example, with the exception of a few minor repairs, is a true diving history treasure. all diving helmets in this auction will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from nations attic. the certificate will have a unique

from the 1917 aj morse catalog, this spring-lock mechanism knife is an extraordinary find and arguably one of the rarest american diving knives ever produced. while the catalog featured three distinct styles, this specific design remains virtually unknown to modern collectors. at the time, it was marketed for its superior accessibility, advertised as being \"much more easily withdrawn\" than the cumbersome, traditional screw-pattern sheaths. despite this clear functional advantage, the knife never saw widespread adoption. this scarcity is likely due to the high production costs of its intricate handle or a lack of official approval from the us navy, which would have limited its use to a small circle of commercial divers.this particular specimen has survived in very good condition, showcasing a simple yet effective mechanical design. the knife is operated by a trigger button located on the edge of the flat brass handle; when pressed, the spring-loaded mechanism disengages an internal hook, allowing the blade to slide freely from its flat brass sheath. two flathead screws on the handle secure the internal trigger system, a hallmark of this elusive model. interestingly, its greatest strength\u2014speed\u2014may have been its downfall; the efficiency of the lock likely led divers to inadvertently lose blades by failing to ensure they were fully engaged. as evidenced by the accompanying photographs, this specimen is in good condition, with its integral trigger mechanism remaining fully functional. while the knife and sheath lack manufacturer stamps or hallmarks, their identification is anchored in the 1917 aj morse catalog\u2014the sole historical record of this specialized design. substantial in hand, the piece weighs a collective 2 pounds 14 ounces, with a handle geometry that immediately distinguishes it from more common diving tools of the era.the factory-capped brass sheath is marked with a small stamped \u201c2\u201d and displays a rich patina of authentic wear, including the characteristic dings and marks around the throat that speak to a lifetime of original use. the blade similarly exhibits an honest age-related patina and features a unique, subtle flare toward the tip. while we have previously encountered the flat-sheath iteration of this model, this round-sheath variant is an extraordinary rarity that we have never before handled at auction. for the serious collector, this represents a premier opportunity to acquire a virtually undocumented united states made dive knife.all items will be shipped with a signature

distinctive hardware.this lot is further distinguished by its exceptional documentation and vivid personal history. it is accompanied by its original transportation case, hand-decorated with artwork

exceptional offering represents a cornerstone of maritime history: a u.s. navy mark v diving helmet manufactured by the prestigious a. schrader's son co., dated september 1, 1917. while the mark v design was codified in 1916, early examples from the inaugural years of 1916 and 1917 remain vanishingly rare. as the united states ramped up production for the world war i effort and subsequent reconstruction, the mark v became an icon of naval engineering. today, 109 years after its inception, a 1917 schrader remains one of the most coveted acquisitions for the serious collector.bearing serial number 82, this helmet is the 82nd mark v ever produced by schrader, marking it as a true \"low-number\" survivor from the dawn of standard-issue naval diving. in keeping with the production nuances of the great war era, the helmet features non-matching stamps: the bonnet neck ring is marked 35, the breastplate 82, and the faceplate frame 52. such variations are consistent with other early schrader mark v\u2019s we have handled in the past. in addition, the understand of the four brails feature the stamped number 37, 102, 102, and 62. the helmet remains remarkably complete, featuring its original hardware, including the brails, twelve wing nuts, four copper brail shims, window guards, and glass. the internal air vents, chin button, period-correct twelve-pointed exhaust wheel, and spitcock valve are all present, alongside the essential dumbbell safety latch.the copper bonnet exhibits \"working dents\" earned over a century of service, providing an authentic patina that speaks to its likely deployment during both world wars. notably, these impressions are superficial and do not penetrate the copper. this piece underwent a masterful sympathetic restoration by the original manufacturer, a. schrader\u2019s son (now based in pennsylvania). unlike modern over-polishing, this professional conservation preserves the helmet\u2019s original character and \"salty\" aesthetic while ensuring structural integrity, completeness, and authenticity.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

by the u.s. navy from 1916 to the mid-1980s, the mark v diving helmet is an icon of diving history and a favorite among collectors. production of the helmet, which peaked during world war 2, was handled after ww2 only by morse diving equipment and the diving equipment & supply company. finding examples made post-ww2 is difficult due to the very limited numbers made due to surplus ww2 examples in government inventories. this specific helmet was made by diving equipment & supply co (desco) in august of 1951, during the korean war. while the records for this helmet are long gone, it is a safe bet that it was possibly ordered for use during the war. this mark v helmet features the classic desco brass oval id. the helmet's serial number, 4028 is clearly stamped on the id plate. desco would also stamp the serial number on both inside neck rings. the matching number is on both halves. the bonnet also has a second number on it, possibly a separate inventory number applied outside of desco.the helmet features most of its original hardware, including exhaust valve, port guards, glass, comms cup, comms elbow, air fitting elbow, four brails, eleven wing nuts, four copper brail shims, original safety latch with brass chain and cotter pin, internal exhaust chin button, original navy reproducer, and vents. the helmet is missing the spitcock valve, neck ring gasket, and one wing nut, all of which can be acquired from desco. this helmet has, without a doubt, seen plenty of underwater work. while not abused, all of the factory tinning has worn off. the top of the bonnet does exhibit a couple of working dents. as noted above, finding a mark v made after 1945 is difficult, especially during the korean war. this helmet could be left as is, or it could be polished out to a brilliant shine. regardless, it is a fantastic straight-numbers-matching example!the display stand in the photos is not included. the option to purchase the stand at a discounted price will be available after

with dustjacket, 213 pages. one of the most sought-after diving books that went out of print long ago. a very important book for anyone interested in heavy gear diving, and the subsequent move toward light-weight suits and helmets and mixed-gas use. numerous photos of different helmets and masks. described on the dust jacket: a comprehensive work exploring the world of the deep-sea diver. the primary purpose of this book is to explain the origins, development, current status, future of the commercial deep-sea diver and the equipment he uses and how it has evolved historically. furthermore, the text describes in detail exactly how the equipment is used by the diver and how different types of diving apparatus are used depending upon the nature of the diver's work. the material is presented in detail using non- technical language. this is the story of how diving apparatus has evolved from simple beginnings into highly sophisticated devices requiring skilled operators and advanced technical knowledge for proper use. starting with the caveman, the deep-sea diver is traced through time to understand how he has studied, invented, and improvised to allow himself to descend into the sea and explore its depths. emphasis is placed on the equipment worn directly by a diver - his helmet, dress, weight belt, and shoes. the initial attempts to provide these devices, their subsequent modifications, and ultimate development are described to provide an understanding of the tremendous difficulties man has overcome to walk beneath the waves. the last four chapters present a photographic and word compilation of diving equipment covering 200 years of development. this information is historically accurate and comprehensive. contents: a brief history of the deep-sea diving outfit - the physics of being underwater - mark v diving apparatus - diving with a mark v outfit - commercial heavyweight deep-sea diving - lightweight diving apparatus - scuba - keeping warm

by the u.s. navy from 1916 to the mid-1980s, the mark v diving helmet is an icon of diving history and a favorite among collectors. production of the helmet, which peaked during both world wars, was, among others, handled by the boston-based company a.j. morse & son inc., and later renamed morse diving equipment. this renowned manufacturer, founded in 1837, became a key supplier to the u.s. navy, and its 1916 design for the mark v cemented its place as a legend in the world of diving equipment.this mark v helmet features a lead id plate showing it was made during april 1944. during this time, morse switched to lead id plates rather than brass to help conserve the war-critical material. during ww2 morse would apply a lot to the id plate rather than the serial number. in this case the lot number is 158.the helmet's serial number stamped on both neck rings, and all four brails is 5108. this is a full serial number matching example! the helmet features all the correct hardware, including spitcock valve, bte exhaust valve, port guards, glass, comms cup, comms elbow, air fitting elbow, four brails, twelve correct wing nuts, four copper brail shims, original safety latch with brass chain and cotter pin, internal exhaust chin button, ww2 reproducer with us navy inspection stamp, and vents. an original wing nut t wrench is also included. this helmet retains nearly all of its original tinning on the copper body, which was applied at the morse factory. the bonnet does exhibit minor working dents and some loss of tinning consistent with a working helmet. the back of the breastplate even features wear to the tinning where the leather weight belt rubbed. out of the four makers of the mark v during world war 2, morse helmets are the second most difficult to find. this april 1944 helmet in full #s matching condition with its original finish and components is a special surviving example worthy of any collection! the display stand in the photos is not included. the option to

us navy mark v is arguably the most iconic helmet design ever made. its style and history have made it one of the most popular helmets among collectors worldwide. the model was made for the us navy from 1916 till the mid-1980s. after the us navy adopted the mark 12 helmet for use, there were still three makers of the mark v helmet for commercial and recreational use, morse & desco (diving equipment and supply co) and recently schrader.this helmet was made by one of those famed and iconic manufacturers of the 20th and 21st centuries, the diving equipment & salvage company (desco). located in milwaukee, wi this company would start making diving helmets and related equipment in the late 1930s. starting in 1943 they become a supplier to the us navy, including the mark v helmet. desco is still in business today as diving equipment and supply company, making the highest quality helmets and offering repair services.the helmet was made on january 15th, 1945. as can be seen in the photos, the helmet is in very nice original condition. many people do not realize that mark vs made for the us navy required that they have a tinning covering the entire copper body. this tinning prevented saltwater corrosion. this tinning gives the helmet the grey finish you see. this helmet is what a desco mark v looks like after seventy-seven years of careful use and being preserved!the helmet's bonnet and breastplate have serial numbers matching the identification plate. desco placed the serial number on both inside neck rings and the id plate. also featured on the id plate is a us navy inspection stamp. this stamp is proof that the helmet was inspected and put into the us navy inventory. the spun copper body of the helmet is in wonderful condition with only minor working dents on the top of the bonnet. also of important note is the additional brass plaque on the front of the breastplate. this plaque reads: d.j. dockery; u.s. navy 1949; new london. conn. denzel \u201cdoc\u201d dockery a us navy veteran and in the 1950s a michigan businessman. mr. dockery is credited as designing and popularizing the use of the now iconic red and white \u201cdiver down\u201d flag. drawing inspiration from the navy\u2019s solid red \u201cbravo\u201d danger flag, dockery and his wife, ruth, experimented with various configurations to ensure the design was both distinctive and legally unique. after rejecting a horizontal stripe (the national flag of austria) and a vertical stripe (the navy\u2019s number 7 signal flag), they finalized the now-universal diagonal white stripe running from the upper-left to the lower-right corner. beyond its invention, dockery\u2019s tireless promotion and \"evangelism\" for the flag transformed it from a homemade safety tool into the globally recognized symbol of the diving community.securely mounted inside the bonnet is a wwii reproducer made by guided radio corp. there is a wire from the reproducer to the communications elbow. this reproducer or speaker also features a us navy inspection stamp on it. other original components intact are the four brails, 12 wing nuts, spitcock valve, exhaust valve, and chin button, dumbbell safety latch (chain and cotter pin missing), neck ring gasket, glass with red caulk, air vents, and a chin button exhaust. also prominently visible on the front of the helmet is an original morse stamped welding shield. while the dark welding lens is no longer present, the shield itself is a correct wwii part rarely seen on a mark v.a schrader non-return valve is threaded onto the air elbow along with an air fitting end cap. the communications elbow also has its original cap. it should be noted that the brass hardware appears to have been nickel-plated long ago. this was done to a few helmets when they were presentation pieces or on display at locations such as a recruitment office. much of the old nickel plating has worn off, but it is still very evident. having a helmet from a us navy veteran and one who went on to develop a symbol of diver safety and generally a universal image for diving is a special and unique opportunity! the display stand in the photos is not included. the option to purchase the stand at a discounted price will be available after the auction. all diving helmets in this auction will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from

a unique variation. these vince-made knives for the us government stand out for their distinct features.three key elements set vince knives apart. the most striking is the swivel ring at the handle's end, a helpful addition absent from standard specifications and unseen in other manufacturers' knives. vince also implemented a different sawtooth configuration, with 13 teeth per inch compared to the standard 12.while the exact reason for vince's deviations remains unknown, surviving examples suggest they received smaller contracts during the war mobilization for equipment. today, collectors of vintage diving gear consider the vince knife, especially with the intact swivel ring, among the top three most challenging world war ii dive knives to acquire.this particular vince knife is in very nice condition. the varnished maple handle remains free of cracks. the brass swivel loop rotates easily. the loop is slightly bent, but with careful manipulation it could be straightened. the brass

us navy mark v is arguably the most iconic helmet design in history, serving as a cornerstone of maritime heritage and a pinnacle for collectors. produced from 1916 through the mid-1980s, production peaked during the world wars. while four companies manufactured the mark v, miller-dunn of miami, florida, produced them only from 1943 to 1944. with an output of only a little over one thousand units, miller-dunn examples are exceptionally rare and highly coveted. the company\u2019s established relationship with the navy began in 1916 with their \"divinhood\" shallow-water models, a pedigree that eventually secured their brief but historic mark v contract.this specific helmet was manufactured on february 1, 1944. per government specifications, the lead id plate is stamped with the production date and serial number 118. while miller-dunn\u2019s lead plates are often found illegible due to the soft material, this one remains remarkably clear. also found on the id plate is a rarely seen us navy inspection stamp in the lower-left corner. this \u201coverlapping usn\u201d style stamp was used by naval supply offices for equipment that did not have an inspector at the manufacturing site, such as miller dunn. this is only the second inspection stamped miller dunn mark v we have ever handled, and the first in this style!also of significance is the helmet's relatively early serial number, 118. this number can be found on the lead id plate and on the bottom side of all four brails. interestingly, the two inner neck rings are not stamped. inconsistencies with serial number stamping are common with early miller dunn mark v\u2019s. the helmet is in very nice original overall condition. externally, much of the helmet\u2019s factory-applied tinning remains intact, preserving its original wwii-era appearance. the original glass with red lead caulk, port guards, brass screws, bte exhaust valve, spitcock valve, communications and air elbows, elbow fitting caps, twelve correct wing nuts, four serial numbers matching brails, four copper brail shims, dumbbell safety latch with locking lever, and cotter pin with chain (pin and chain are old replacements) are all intact. the interior remains extremely well-preserved, featuring original air vents, tinning, and an exhaust chin button. an old neck ring gasket is present. the threads of the two neck ring halves require a patient to engage. mark v helmets are arguably the most desirable diving helmets to collect in the world. the ww2 miller dunn examples are at the top of the most difficult examples to find, and also a prime investment, especially in this one's condition! the display stand in the photos is not included. the option to purchase the stand at a discounted price will be available after the auction. 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

unique and seldom seen helmet was made by diving equipment & supply company (desco). located in milwaukee, wisconsin, this company would start making diving helmets and related equipment in the 1930s. the company\u2019s initial goal was to make equipment that would allow for the dive of shipwrecks at extreme depths. when world war 2 started, the company would receive large government contracts to produce most notably the us navy mark v helmet. in 1945 as the war was coming to an end, jack browne set a world record of a depth of 550 feet of water. the company would go on to design and manufacture numerous specialized diving helmets for both military and commercial applications. desco is still in business today, serving active divers and collectors.one such helmet that desco still makes today is the model 29211, the lightweight abalone helmet. originally designed for superior use while harvesting abalone, these helmets have over the years served as valuable tools in other underwater work. this attractive vintage example features serial #1034 on the original id plate. just above the id plate, engraved into the copper is a. chisholm & broman divers. this is also etched into the bonnet communications cup. with some research its possible to find out where this company operated and when, adding to the story of this helmet. the helmet itself retains a wonderful vintage look with hints of past work. the bonnet and breastplate neck rings are both stamped d.t.i. a viii, indicating the two halves are original to each other. both halves are threaded together correctly, and the old neck ring gasket is intact. the helmet is complete both inside and out. over the years the exhaust valve was moved farther back on the bonnet along with a few other modifications, likely

here is an extraordinary specimen of 19th-century gothic ingenuity: the \u201cmemento mori\u201d travel kit, a custom-commissioned ensemble attributed to the workshop of quincey p. morris. designed to safeguard the traveler against both the supernatural threats of the old world and the very real dangers of hostile men, this kit represents a pinnacle of victorian-era paranoia and craftsmanship. the collection is housed in a bespoke, coffin-shaped wooden travel case, featuring its original brass hardware, a deep patina, and tax stamps that hint at a long-forgotten history of international passage.the kit\u2019s defensive capabilities are centered around a formidable 1860s-era bowie knife\u2014a weapon of the american frontier modified with a .38 caliber pistol barrel integrated into the spine of the blade. this \"pistol-knife\" allowed for a seamless transition from a melee engagement to a lethal discharge with the flick of a finger. to ensure the firearm remained functional, the kit includes a glass vial of .38 caliber lead bullets, a brass bullet mold, a black powder flask, and an 1858-dated percussion cap tin. for more specialized encounters, the kit provides two 9-inch, fire-hardened oak stakes that are stamped \"memento mori.\" the heavy wooden handle of the bowie knife was designed to double as a mallet for driving them home.spiritual and botanical deterrents are represented in equal measure, reflecting the comprehensive nature of the morris tradition. the inventory includes a 1892 travel bible authorized by the archbishop of new york, a high-quality victorian crucifix, a detailed rosary, and a silver-toned mirror. eight labeled glass vials contain a traditional apothecary of herbal defenses, ranging from allicin and wolfsbane to nightshade and quickthorn. for safety purposes, the vials have now been emptied. for the direct application of sanctified fluids, the kit features a menacing 9-inch solid brass syringe manufactured by a. young of edinburgh, scotland. this medical instrument was intended to deliver holy water with internal precision.the kit\u2019s practical and provenance-related details are equally compelling. a 19th-century map focusing on the pass of the \u201cred tower\u201d in the carpathian mountains is mounted to a magnetic wood base, concealing a hidden compartment for travel documents and spare ammunition. beneath this map lies a cryptic warning stamped into the wood, a secret intended only for the kit's owner. the interior is lined in a rich, crimson victorian-patterned fabric, with each tool secured by custom-fitted compartments and hand-forged metal tension clips. accompanied by a cabinet card of quincey p. morris that serves as a master inventory and bears a unique serial number matching the case's inner frame, this kit has undergone a painstaking sympathetic restoration. it remains a peerless find for any serious collector of militaria, gothic curiosities, or literary lore. the items in the kit are all

path embossed on its inner lining.beyond its visual appeal, the caseback features a captivating animation: when the chronograph is engaged, snoopy travels across the lunar surface in his command and service module, while the earth rotates in the background. powered by the master chronometer calibre 3861 movement, this watch offers unrivaled precision and magnetic resistance.this is a complete \"full set\" for the discerning collector. it includes the original special presentation box, the commemorative snoopy booklet, the microfiber cloth, and the original omega international warranty card
