Fire Engine BRASS & COPPER Fire Brigade Fire Fighter Fire Hose Nozzle BRANCH # 8

This listing is for ONE (1) Fireman's fire hose nozzle or "BRANCH"

The others shown in the final image are all separately listed

Genuine antique Copper and Brass item

ONE of a small collection I am selling AT NO RESERVE

Formerly BRITISH FIRE BRIGADE items with several bearing U.K. FIRE STATION initials

Some bear Monarch cypher for King George the 6th

Some have WW2 DATES so likely saw service during the BLITZ by the German Luftwaffe during WW2 and the subsequent attacks by V1 and V2 rockets

SIZES = the longest ones are approx 24" or two feet long

I have tried to show them beside rulers to give you a general idea of their size and length

WEIGHT = Bloody heavy even the smallest ones!

IF THESE COULD TALK? (they never will) WHAT STORIES they could tell

CONDITION = old USED item that has seen a LOT of fire brigade service so there are dings and scratches, use scars "PATINA"

Most of these nozzles are prolifically marked and where visible? I have tried to show their markings as clearly as I can

Some of these will need a JOLLY GOOD CLEAN and they may bear other markings that may show up if highly polished

On one or twoof these nozzles I could not see any markings, but they are probably there?, just "lost" under all the AGE PATINA

Seems a SHAME to split the collection up as they would make a MUSEUM WORTHY DISPLAY id all cleaned-up and standing together on a shelf

These are BLOODY HEAVY and my postage cost are ESTIMATES

I will be happy to combine items if and where possible to save you on hefty postage or courier costs

WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS may prevent too many nozzles going into a single parcel, but we will do what we can to make it as reasonably priced postage as we can do

These will NEED to be well padded to prevent any further "patina" being added by the NZPO or courier

THESE are all GUARANTEED 100% GENUINE antique vintage fire hose branches

NOT India-Made reproductions
