Vintage Stabrella 500B Commercial Dive Light – Attributed to Jaws Film Production

Up for sale is an original Stabrella Model 500B dive light, a heavy-duty commercial underwater inspection lamp dating to the 1970s–1980s.

This piece was previously authenticated (documentation unfortunately lost during a move) as being associated with production use on a Jaws film The paperwork I had was for the scene where is was held by Brody as Hooper guts the caught shark and finds a license plate inside it. Since I lost the paperwork and picture that confirmed this you can do your own research to authenticate this yourself. Based on construction, materials, and wear, it is fully consistent with equipment used for Jaws production. No matter what its a really cool piece of authentic dive light history!
