Item Details

Description

This is what appears to be an unused United States Navy flotation device. There are 3 components. The first is a bladder with a brass device and a hose hook-up. The second is a larger bladder with a round opening but no metal components. Lastly, a Navy ammo box with hardware to operate the flotation device. Everything is dated to the mid-1980s and appears to be in fine original condition. Obviously this has not been tested and is sold as is. All the parts will fit into a larger box shipped via FedEx. Please ask for shipping quote.

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 under 600 pounds via air. Payment via bank wire for customers outside the USA is required. A shipping quote prior to the auction can be provided by emailing your postal code.
