The 32" overall length and 4" base width of this American-made piece make it a standout addition to any collection of firefighting and rescue memorabilia. The nozzle features a 2-part, threaded brass design patented in 1881, with a hand-stenciled "Underwriter" marking on the tube shaft, and a charcoal black stenciled Underwriter mark for authenticity.
Despite its age, this nozzle is in very well-preserved antique condition. The original brass patina has naturally aged over time, giving it a unique character, while the red-painted wound cord adds a touch of color. The 100% original antique condition has remained untouched and undisturbed, making this nozzle a rare find for collectors. The weight of 9 lbs. And aspect of a modified item make it a great conversation starter for anyone interested in the history of firefighting and rescue equipment.
