Cool thread. I think you can learn a lot about someone through the objects with which they choose to surround themselves. I'll have to take some pictures tomorrow.

I was at one point about 2 years ago less than an inch away from buying an authentic diving helmet with a real history. It had a very pronounced patina: the one in you picture looks like it was made yesterday, someone shined that up real nice like. The one I was going to buy also had a noticeable gouge in it where the wearer was one accidentally hit from a band-fired spear gun, which I thought was also very cool.
But, not only was it very expensive, I would also have to ship it home and worry about it getting there, which was a heavy expense all on its own. So I begrudgingly left it.
It is now my duty to completely drain you.

I love to play Chess, but I have never heard of a go table. I'll have to google it.

I always had an urge to have a skull on my desk at work.
Last year I bought a high quality plastic one. Sadly I don't think it is easy to buy a real one anymore.
