Vintage Fire Equipment

Fire Hose Clamp


This is an old clamp, holder from an fire station. Pretty cool how much history comes from something as simple as a used clamp. It's vintage, old and made of metal.

Fire Hose Nozzle


This is an awesome vintage nozzle patented from 1918! It is crazy how equipment can survive so much hardship. I guess that's because used or new, all fire equipment is built for reliability. These old  nozzles were placed at the back of the truck, ready for speedy use. They also had other nozzles placed at the front or side of the truck to help with the pump.

Hand Drawn Fire Hose reel


This is an awesome 1918 hand drawn Fire Hose reel used to carry! Pretty neat huh? Those horses could carry some heavy equipment and haul it pretty efficiently. 

Vintage Fire Hose Shut Off Valve


This is a vintage duel shut off made of brass! It has two handles and two outlets. Every one using a fire hose should make sure they have a shut off valve. 

Fire Hose Wrench

Check out this awesome wrench. It's old solid brass and is a folding Rocker Lug Coupling wrench (made by Akron Brass). This is primarily used to couple and uncoupled sections of hose

Fire Hose Coupling


This is an awesome Fire Hose coupling from 1950. It is used to connect one end to either another hose or a hose appliance. 


Added bonus: This is an awesome 1959 Fire Extinguisher made by Wilbur. This is in pretty good condition considering it hasn't been inspected since 1959.

  • My fire company has one that looks just like that. At an open house today, someone asked specifics about make and year. Do you have more information? Ours has sprockets on the outside of the wheels and sprockets on back roller as well. What for?

  • We are restoring an 1800’s hose reel and will be donating it our local fire department and dedicating it to a good friend and neighbor in his memory. I have 5 handles broken or missing on the reel and they screw on and off. They are cast metal and I was wondering if you may have a source. Thanks in advance for your help.

  • I was wondering if you can help me. My mom and dad belonged to the local fire department and we were going through some stuff and was wondering where to look for values on some firemen things. She has a " the star swinging hose reel " ( no bracket, but does have the hose and no breakagae on the reel that I can see ) and a red nozzle that has ALFCO printed on it. I have a picture of the hose reel if needed. Thanks for your help of any kind. Have a good one.
