In the world of commercial diving in the 1970s and 1980s, Miller helmets were considered one of the jewels in the industry. Constructed with a solid bronze shell these helmets have a unique appearance and durability to last forever. Starting in the early 1970s Ben Miller came out with the 200 series. This series would be made until the mid 1970s, when the 300 series came out.
This Miller helmet has a solid cast bronze body. The window frame features the Miller Diving logo and the serial number 272. The old acrylic window shows plenty of use. The original neck dam is present but the rubber is very stiff. The top carry handle does have a hole, likely for mounting a light. On the divers left side of the helmet are two holes used for mounting hardware. This helmet has seen a lot of jobs in the past but is ready for restoration or enjoyment as is. Please refer to the detailed photos for additional condition information. The Miller 200 series is relatively difficult to find due to its limited production time.
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.
