Product code: Diver deals Helmet Desk and Table Clock, 1900's Replica Antique Brass, Vintage Patina
DIVER HELMET DESK, TABLE CLOCK Edmond Halley created the first-known diving helmet in the late 17th century. The bell-shaped helmet drew air from a larger bell, which was dropped into the ocean. Air trapped inside this larger bell was fed to the diver through a tube. However, the air supply needed to be replenished with air in barrels sent from the surface and juggled by the diver, making it difficult to remain underwater. Brothers Charles and John Deane produced the first successful diving helmet in the 1820s. Detailed vents and ports convey the industrial nature of this early 20th century piece of diving equipment. Replicated in solid brass with a vintage patina, this Pendulux diver helmet desk clock features a clever hand wheel mechanism that allows for adjustment of the viewing angle, just in case you happen to be hit by a high tide at your desk! Made of antiqued brass Measures 7” tall x 5” wide x just over 6” in depth Weighs 2 lbs UPC deals 816910022113.
