Vintage Elkhart Brass Manufacturing Co. Fire Hose Nozzle, Approximately 12 Inches - A vintage industrial fire hose nozzle attributed to the Elkhart Brass Manufacturing Co. The object is constructed entirely of heavy patinated brass or bronze, featuring a segmented, utilitarian design. The body is cylindrical, transitioning to a tapering conical spout. The design incorporates two distinct sections of deep cross-hatched knurling (diamond pattern), providing grip and facilitating adjustment. The material displays a dark, oxidized patina consistent with age and industrial use. Small, indistinct manufacturer stamps or numbers are visible on the lower and mid-sections of the brass body, though they are currently illegible due to heavy tarnish. Approximately 12 inches long.
