Is that a working porpoise? If so, awesome kit you have there.

I have a very old single hose reg, a Rose Pro from Rose Aviation, circa mid-1950s, but it is not functional. My oldest functional single hose is a Healthways Scubair J, circa 1962 - 63, the downstream valve version, not tilt valve.

I believe David Haas may have an old Rose Aviation SHR. I don’t believe it works either.

1965 vintage 1/4 inch custom (homemade my Mom) two piece, beaver tail wetsuit, including boots, mittens, and hood. Might still be useable had I not split the bottoms trying to see if they still fit15 years ago. The old adage “Hope springs eternal” is still valid! Voit combination depth gauge and compass. Homemade lead weights, two weight belts, and a snorkel. Two BFKs (why I bought these for spring and cave diving is still a mystery) round out my never will be used again box of dive gear. Correction: I still use the weights.

I have a Scubair from the same time period that's New in box with paper work
