 Nation's Attic's Annual 2026 Diving Into History Auction

We are now accepting consignments for our upcoming Nation's Attic's Diving Into History auction for 2026. This is your chance to take advantage of a historically strong market. Our 2025 auction resulted in multiple record pricing for antique diving helmets and related memorabilia. 

 

Our 2026 auction will feature the collection of The Ocean Corporation which began business in 1969 in Houston, TX teaching individuals the business of commercial diving. Countless current and retired divers have passed through their lobby and admired the collection of antique and vintage diving helmets. The school is still going strong but has decided to let others enjoy the pieces of diving history they have accumulated over the decades. 

 

If you are considering selling a single piece of diving history or an entire collection for top market value, contact us today! Nation's Attic are experts at helping coordinate the shipping or pick-up of your valuable items.
