Vintage Solid Brass Adjustable Hose Nozzle

Story

Post-war suburban expansion turned the American lawn into a status symbol. This brass nozzle was the high-tech wand of the 1950s homeowner, built to survive decades of being dropped on concrete driveways.

Maker / Origin

While often unmarked, these were the bread and butter of American brass foundries like H.B. Sherman Manufacturing. They specialized in 'clinch' couplings and sprayers that became the industry standard for the modern garden.

Condition & Value

The brass shows a lovely light patina with minimal oxidation. The knurling is sharp and the threads appear undamaged. Excellent functional condition adds to its value as a 'user' antique.
