A 12 bolt diving helmet by Siebe Gorman & Co, altered for use as a shallow water helmet:, the bonnet numbered '2936' the corselet numbered '2964', the bonnet with oval side windows and guards, front convex face plate with guard, spit cock to left, rear air inlet, rear exhaust valve with wheel adjustment and bell shaped cover, and two lashing eyes, the corselet also signed as per title to front, 44cm high *Anthony Pardoe notes- The locking device on the corselet is a 'gate' for a drop catch, whilst the top has the remains of a 'peg and chain' However as this was used as an open helmet a thumb screw has been fitted to prevent the top from turning. This is an early helmet, with the exhaust valve quite close to the back of the head even though it has a wheel adjustment. This valve has a bell shaped cover which is such an early design that it is not shown in the 1935 fourth edition of R.H.Davis's 'Deep Diving'. Other indications of this being an early top are the convex front window glass, the two 'lashing eyes', one behind the side window, and the other on the opposite side to the teardrop shaped spitcock. The copper curved bracket attached to the air inlet, we believe was used to fix the helmet to a beam on a pub ceiling. Since acquiring the helmet, brails of the correct age have been sent from New Zealand should the helmet ever need to be made fully operational. To my way of thinking these two odd halves are a complete entity just as they are. * see pages 18-19, vol 1, 'Diving Helmets and Equipment Through The Ages'.
