I'm sorry I cant pin point the exact year but it was many years ago and I was one of the lucky ones and have on my mantleshelf two lovely (detonators removed) top cones with safety caps showing a date of 1917 along with lead shot and other parts. I am sorry to say that the outer casing was in too bad a state to save. The cones were made up of several layers and one has a bear stamped on the bottom. When I look at them they bring back many happy memories of my diving days. Hope you find this interesting.
