This Bad Air Transmutator is a respirator from the Gryphon Interplanetary Aeroship Expedition. One of the more remarkable achievements of the Steampunk Era, the Expedition was financed by the wealthy eccentric Baron Henry Balzerhaught. The Expedition’s goal was to explore all of the planets of the solar system through direct visitation, made possible through the unique engineering and design of the aeroships themselves, based on the discoveries and inventions of Professor H. Tauruscat. Baron Balzerhaught named his crafts “aeroships”—which were capable of withstanding both pressure and temperature extremes--to distinguish them from the everyday airships that were limited to traversing planet earth.
The Bad Air Transmutator allowed the wearer to breathe both Martian and Venusian atmospheres with no damage to the lungs. Made of 4-5 oz vegetable tanned leather and cold cast aluminum. Hand stitched and wet-formed, it bears the “Gryphon Expedition” mark. The straps with nickel plated hardware are adjustable, and will fit any adult head. Weighs 13 oz (372 gm).
