Hi :shock: I watched a 1957 Movie ( Monster That Challenged The World) last night that in this movie used a Double Hose Regulator Full Face Mask that is the Strangest one I have ever seen. It also had a Radio Transmitter located where a purge valve is located in the lower front glass area. The double hoses attached to the mask at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock with a Heavy Metal elbow. I have Never seen this type before and do not know the manufacturer either. :P

I have not seen that movie that I recall but much of the stuff on those movies was made probably in their back shops. They probably took a Captain Fathom type dual snorkel full face mask and stuck elbows into the snorkel slots for the double hose. The cage valves would be in the snorkel elbows and it ought to work sorta maybe :shock:

Hi Nemrod. :P Well I have to admit that it looked very good but certainly could be Homemade or even European. They looked very interesting to say the least, in the Movie and seemed to be wearing the Ancient Style Wetsuits that were extremely Baggy and also were extremely Light in Color, like they were made Yellow. Very Strange Neck rubber design, super baggy neck, in Black color and attached to what looked like the old timey Rubber Caps Ladies used to wear when swimming. Yelow suit and Cap with Balck Neck rubber. Looked strange. It really is a Very Good Sci-Fi Movie and if you get a chance to see it, I do highly recommend it for Fun and to really see if You could make out what the Heck they were useing in their Scuba Diving, Ha, Ha. :D

Cute flick!

There's a local "oldies" media shop that has a couple of these remastered onto DVD for as low as $6 if bought in an assortment pack.
I can grab a couple the next time I make a flick run, anybody interested?
Postage & mailer shouldn't be over a buck (or send your own SASE)
