Description
An impressive antique firefighter's brass and metal hose nozzle, also known as a playpipe or branch pipe, dating to the early-to-mid 20th century. Measuring approximately 30 inches in length, this substantial firefighting implement features a long cylindrical barrel wrapped in faded burgundy-red woven cord, a tapered metal discharge nozzle, and a heavy-duty threaded hose connection. Its traditional construction reflects the equipment once used by fire departments to direct high-pressure water streams during firefighting operations.
The lower fitting features two opposing curved metal handles designed to provide firefighters with a secure grip when operating the nozzle. The darkened metal surfaces display an aged patina with visible oxidation, while the original-style woven wrapping retains its distinctive texture and faded red color. A striking piece of historical firefighting equipment, ideal for collectors of firehouse memorabilia, industrial antiques, or vintage emergency services artifacts.
