"Bat Wing" back-pack

[William]

Hi this is what we called the "Bat Wing" back-pack ,long,long ago when I was young. It was designed so the entire Tank & Decal would be Visible Without a Tank Band on it. I wanted one but by the time I was ready they were Gone for good, ha, ha. I really would like to hear Any Information about this Type back pack, like manufacturer, year made, Problems with it, how many and how long made. Just any facts would be great to hear. Thanks guys. William

An Inside View of my "Bat Wing" back-pack. I do not know the actual name of it. If anyone knows please help me out here, ha, ha.William

I do not know the name but I like the "futuristic" design of the thing. Clearly designed to facilitate rapid tank changes unlike many early scuba packs.

Hi and thanks for that too I hope someone will remember or maybe some of our vintage diving Historians may have a catalog or magazine with a picture to I.D. Her. Getting things straightened out what/when information finally is a truely wonderfull thing I beleive and always remember how unusual and fun these things really were. William

Don't know the manufacturer or date, but I figure its from the late 50's
Mine came with a USD 1959 tank in it. Got it off E-bay, so no history.
One place to look might be the Old 1950's Skin Diver Ads.
I hope you find the information, so I will know where mine came from too.
