Subject: MK V MODEL 1 NAVY HELMET

     After years of searching I've finally obtained a navy Mk.5 model 1 
     helmet. The breastplate indicates it was manufactured by Schrader's 
     Son & Co, Brooklyn NY, 1943.

     Does anyone know if Schrader's is still in business?  I'd like to 
     gather some historical info on the piece.

     I also purchased the canvas dress (US rubber, January 1941) and the 
     lead and brass overshoes.

     Any info would be appreciated...

     Now all I need is a Cis-Lunar and my dive locker will be complete.
