Step back in time with this genuine antique diving helmet, a testament to decades of underwater exploration and hard work. While the exact manufacturer remains a mystery, the helmet's design points to its likely origins in Japan or South Korea during the early to mid-20th century. This classic three-light, twelve-bolt model has proudly served its purpose, and now awaits a new chapter as a captivating display piece in your home.
 
Undoubtedly used for decades of hard underwater work, this example shows its battle scars well. Countless working dents on the bonnet actually give this helmet a very interesting visual appeal. Various repairs, patches, small cuts in the copper, breastplate pushed in at the front neck ring all are part of the working history of this piece.  All twelve wing nuts and four brails are present. Inside the bonnet, the original air vents are still in place. The bonnet and breastplate thread together just as they should. Note the copper support bridge on the back of the bonnet connected to the air elbow, a great piece of ingenuity to keep the helmet working!
 
All helmets sold by Nations Attic Inc. will have a certificate of authenticity (COA). This COA will have a serial # on it that will match the # on a tamperproof holographic decal placed on the inside of the helmet. This level of security and long-term assurance of the helmet’s authenticity is unmatched in the industry and very important to us.
