Vintage Double Hose

This reg is not for sale, but my buddy just got it for a lot more then I could pay. It was posted on one of the sport diving boards.

Just goes to show what can come up every now and then.

The post was:

"I have just uncovered a 1950's US Divers Aqua-Lung 2 hose regulator with blue hoses in brand new condition. The box was sealed from the factory with US Divers tape and just cut open yesterday to view the contents. I found this tucked away in a dresser drawer in my late fathers ham radio shack. I know that this drawer had not been open in at least 40 years and the box, literature, and regulator are in n NEW condition, an unbelievable find. Serial #20837 Cousteau-Gagnan process. I have not dove in about 20 yrs and do not have a use for this so my search led me to this site to see if it has any value. "

I'd like to see a photo or three of that one! Congrats to your friend, he hit the jackpot.

Here is another

Awesome find. Really cool reg.

Wow! She is purdy! That's one for the Smithsonian.

Wow, those hoses sure are blue. I have never seen such nice colour on them like that before. PLease send the big pics to Bryan. We dont often get to see an old Broxton in mint condition. Many people say they have one in mint or NIB shape but most are mistaken. That is a beauty. Try to get some good pics of it on some nice velvet or something like Allan does his a lot of times.
I would love to have that regulator, but I would do something dumb like dive it.

I saw that one too... and I offered $100... wonder why he didn't bite?

Your friend is such a lucky guy... this happends only once in a life time.
Please send more pictures.
Thanks very much

I tried making the photos larger through Photobucket and then posting them but they were too blurry to show up well. Sorry about that. My photo skills are lacking to say the least.
