ANTIQUE MARITIME NAUTICAL 1920s DIVE DIVERS DIVING HELMET RUBBER SEAL RING

Description

THIS RARE ANTIQUE MARINE DIVING HELMET RUBBER SEAL OR RING IS IN VERY GOOD ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE RUBBER IS NOT HARD AND IS PLIABLE AND IN GREAT SHAPE FOR BEING OVER 100 YEARS OLD. I TOOK THIS OFF OF A 1920s KOREAN DIVE HELMET AND THESE ARE HARDER TO FIND THEN THE HELMETS. I BELIEVE THE RING IS THE SAME SIZE AS MANY OF THE OLD DIVE HELMETS. IT HAS SOME DISCOLORATION AND THE RUBBER HAS SOME SMALL TEARS AND IS UNEVEN BUT STILL A GREAT NAUTICAL PIECE. THEY WERE USED TO SEAL THE HELMET AND TO MAKE THE BONNET STRAIT WHEN ATTACHED TO THE BREAST PLATE. IT'S ROUGHLY 10 1/2 INCHES IN DIAMETER ON THE OUTSIDE AND 9 INCHES IN DIAMETER ON THE INSIDE.PLEASE BE SURE TO LOOK AT ALL OF THE PICTURES AND ASK ALL QUESTIONS AS I HAVE A NO RETURN POLICY. SHIPPING IN THE CONTINENTAL U.S WILL BE .99.
