The Fort Bragg Diver | Vintage Copper & Brass Miniature Diving Helmet Model
A heavy, sculptural homage to deep-sea exploration. Sourced along the Northern California coast in Fort Bragg, this vintage Mark V-style diving helmet model blends industrial craft with timeless maritime character.
Constructed from solid copper and brass with genuine glass portholes, the helmet carries a distinct, unpolished verdigris patina that highlights its textured metalwork and riveted collar details. Left deliberately un-shined to preserve its authentic coastal provenance, this 2-pound display piece brings dramatic depth and atmospheric weight to a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or curated desk space.
