Vintage dive mask. Any idea on age thinking 60s

[David Wilson]

I would agree about the likelihood of the Kinugawa Tropic mask dating back to the 1960s, but no earlier, because of the compensator bosses, which were patented between the end of the 1950s and the beginning of the 1960s. I do have some online auction images of a black and an orange Kinugawa diving mask, see below:

Just noticed this on eBay...

Kinugawa mask models included the Ebb Tide (above), Blue Eye, Diver, Max Pro, Tenue as well as the Tropic. Typical mask box below:

Hope all this helps.
