Antique Brass Fire Hose Nozzle Boston Woven Hose & Rubber Co Curved Fireman

  
A good one here-and no, that bend isn't from someone dropping it off a ladder. This is a solid brass fire hose nozzle made by the Boston Woven Hose & Rubber Co. That graceful curve is intentional. It's called an angled or playpipe-style nozzle.

Make it easier to aim upward (windows, roofs). Control the stream while standing slightly off-axis.

Straight nozzles exist, but this curved style shows up in earlier or more specialized use-especially when paired with hand-pumped or early hydrant systems. Attaches to a hose coupling (missing gasket).

Designed for a solid, high-pressure stream, not a spray pattern. Stamped maker's mark Boston Woven Hose & Rubber Co. Puts it squarely in a known industrial timeline.

Boston Woven Hose & Rubber Co. Was most active under that exact name 1870s-1910s.

Manufacturing method (cast + turned brass). Threads look clean and functional.
