Vintage Scuba Masks, Fins, and Accessories
Boxes and Packaging

Up until now, the "museum" section of this web site has showcased only my personal collection. However, these new pages related to factory packaging contain photos by others as well. As a serious collector, I have always been fascinated by the boxes that these vintage items were sold in, because the packaging is generally far more scarce than the item itself. Consequently, many collectors don't even know what the original packaging looked like.

Items in the original boxes always sell for a lot more money, and sometimes these items are outside of my budget. So I have been collecting photos from eBay and other sources, showing items with their original boxes, in order to create these pages. If any of the photos shown here are copyrighted, or if you, the owner, would like a photo credit or the photo removed, please let me know. Also, if any collectors would like to share photos of their vintage scuba items with original packaging, please email them and I'd be happy to post them.
