Up until now, this entire 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. As any collector will know, the packaging is generally far
more scarce than the item itself, because most of the boxes were thrown
away. 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.
