SIEBE GORMAN & CO
12 BOLT HELMET.Thank you for looking in on my auction.
Something I quite often get asked is do I know any history about the item, well I bought this very old rare helmet from a British collector who bought it 4 maybe 5 years ago from a big collector in Scandinavia.
People who have been to my house and seen it on the shelf amongst other Siebe Gorman helmets always go straight to this one.....
They go straight to this one because it`s the oldest, rarest and it`s the one with most charactor.
When you look around the helmet your mind starts to wander as to what jobs the helmet has seen and done, what depths, whats sights, it really is a fantastic piece of history..
You will notice the stamp on the front braille in one of my photo`s, it is stamped SIEBE GORMAN & CO
and
NOT SIEBE GORMAN AND CO LTD, What this means is the helmet`s estimated age by the stamp is between 1881 and 1904..
So you are bidding on a Siebe Gorman that could be up to 130 plus years old......
The helmet has had multiple repairs through its long life as you would expect for this age of helmet which all adds to the excitement and character, a lovely helmet which really should be in a special collection.The patch on the helmet was possibly a spitcock or even a speaker tube, apparantly the Scandinavian collector thought it may have been a speaker tube at one time but has professionally removed. You will also notice the lovely tear drop style handle on the spitcock.The air intake bend is the old style swept elbow.The lashing eyes are situated at the rear of the side windows as they did in this era and not above the front window as they do in more modern times.You will notice in one of my photo`s the castellated top of the bonnet which signifies that it is indeed an early handmade helmet and not a spun one as more modern ones are.At some stage heavy duty weight lugs with a reinforcing patch have been fitted which almost certainly covers the stamped breastplate.
Brave collectors have been known to remove patches like these to reveal a stamped breastplate although I obviously couldn`t guarantee that as it may have been the cast bronze badge on it as some did. All in all a great helmet to buy, to add to your collection, I have never seen one of these come up for sale on eBay so don`t miss it....

You are welcome to collect from me if you are the high bidder or get it sent out to you packed in a strong case and you will see from my 100% positive feedbacks I am a genuine seller.If you look at the last photo you will see other diving equipment I will try to put on eBay at some stage when I have time.Don`t miss it.........Feel free to ask any questions As with any item I sell I am happy to ship worldwide as all my items are well packed.Check out my other items!I have put several pictures of them so you know exactly what you are buying...You all know the sort of money they make, not many of these around now as they disappear into private collections, I am sure they will just keep going up in value.DON`T MISS OUT ON ADDING THIS ONE TO YOUR COLLECTION.....I am quite happy to ship worldwide. All my items are packed properly to high standards.
