A Collection of Fire Hose Nozzles - French Fire Nozzle  - Original Condition - Solid Bronze and Brass C239

An extraordinary collection of five French Antique and Vintage Fire Hose Nozzles: these were collected by a Parisian "Pompier" - Fireman during his time in the French Fire Service. We purchased them from his son who had inherited them after moving to the countryside in central France and had no room to properly display them. His hope was that eventually, the would find a home with another member of a fire service.

They are solidly constructed from Bronze, Brass, Copper and one has an aluminium handle. They can be sold separately or, preferably, as a collection.
