is a beautiful authentic dive helmet. It was used for repairs on the Panama Canal. My Father traded it years ago for a modern dive helmet. If you are old school Zonian you may have known my Dad, Bob the plumber. I am fourth generation Canal Zonian. The plaque in the front reads U.S. Navy Diving Helmet, Mark V, Morse Diving Equipment Co. Inc., Boston, MASS., Number 749, Date 7/17/42. Also included are the sail hoists that hold it up. They also came from Panama. A piece of Canal Zone memorabilia no one else will have. This helmet has not been altered in any way for over 45 years, is as is as when it was acquired by my Father. It's free to list. Why not? Everyone can stare at it for a little longer.
