A. Schrader was among the pioneering American manufacturers of commercial diving equipment, producing diving helmets and related gear in New York during the nineteenth century. As the company evolved, its name changed several times, appearing on helmets as A. Schrader & Son, A. Schrader's Son, and later A. Schrader's Son Inc. Each variation represents an important period in the company's long history of manufacturing commercial and U.S. Navy diving equipment. During World War II, A. Schrader's Son became a division of the Scovill Manufacturing Company, continuing production of diving helmets and equipment for military and commercial applications. Following the war, the company eventually became part of Craftsweld, continuing the legacy of one of America's most recognized diving equipment manufacturers.
Today, collectors seek diving helmets bearing each of these company names, and Nation's Attic actively purchases authentic examples from every period of Schrader production. Whether your helmet is marked A. Schrader & Son, A. Schrader's Son, A. Schrader's Son Inc., Scovill Manufacturing Company, or Craftsweld Commercial Helmet, we would be pleased to discuss purchasing your helmet or including it in one of our international auctions.
