For those of you of a certain age, you'll know the above-reference is about the Lloyd Bridges character in the television program 'Seahunt', which ran from 1958 to 1961.
And, no doubt, he'd be drooling over our lastest acquisition;
Copper/Brass Deep Sea Diving Helmet Artwork!
It's not (that we know of) an Antique, but it is rather incredible, large, with a bit of weight to it (likely around 40-50lbs.).
And, there is a element of Steam Punk to it, as whoever put it together (or cleaned it up), added a spigot to one of its' protusions, as well as a few extra brass couplings
What can this be used for? ...
Let us count the ways ...
For someone strong enough, they can wear it to next years' Steam Punk Festival, or, repurpose it into a large lamp ... A seafood restaurant can have it as a mighty impressive prop to great their diners, or, if you have a salt water fish tank large enough, you can give your pet fish a nice playground ...
However you choose to use it, you first need to swim your way up to 13909 Antiques to grab this before someone else.
Bonus points to whoever comes for it in scuba gear!
