I found this in 55 ft of water

in a local lake. It was in a doctors bag with a tin box with hypodermic needles in it and some bed bottles and some surgery tools.
Most of the stuff crumbled, as the bag did when I got it up.
The Everready batteries in it were stamped 1936. I just wanted to show it
 
it did not light. I don't know if the bulb is good or not but didn't want to mess with it and possibly damage it.
I might try to see if I can find the Hypos tonight
 
...the batteries go back to the 30's, but I wonder how old it was when it was lost? Anybody know when they started making battery run devices?
It really is in good shape. I can understand why you divers love it so much! Nice find, Royal!
 
Ottmar scoped it at the bottom of the lake <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D">
Thanks Ronin!
Hey Royal, any manufacture marks on that that thing?
 
It was right at the break of the dropoff. The deep side and it was pretty dark down there.. I was on a lone dive that day.
It was a leather doctors bag, of the era but as I grabbed the handle, it just pulled off. The bag was rotten.
I had to sorta cradle it in my arms as I worked to the shallows as it was falling apart. I got to the sandy shallows and dumped the armload and went back down and collected what I had dropped, or at least what I could find,
There were a dozen med bottles or so but none were embossed or had lables. They were full of water so no meds.
there were instriments that looked to be used in operations but they just crumbled.
I figure someone stole the thing and pitched it out there. It was a long way from shore and rather deep. No way anyone would have casually lost it out there.
