1970's vintage ScubaPro SOS Depth Gauge, $50 including USPS Priority shipping.
Front says "SOS PATENT (S) MADE IN ITALY". Helium filled, 500 foot depth limit. See picture below. Here is a link to a site which contains more information on these vintage gauges: Vintage Scuba Diving Accessories Collection
The condition is pretty good for 30+ years old, I certainly never thought it was that old when I got it. It still works great - I recently dove this down to about 60 feet and the readings were accurate compared to a modern computer, within a couple feet.
The rubber back shows very little wear, the chrome bezel shows some surface scratches and has one medium sized spot and a few small spots where the chrome has flaked off. The glass has just minor small scratches from normal wear and tear. It has serial #3775 hand etched onto the wrist strap holder. There is no wrist strap.
