[quote name='hoss' post='295437' date='Apr 8 2009, 11:20 ']Just guessing here, but 1850's may have still had some leather riveted hose on it. The folks up at the FASNY Museum in Hudson would be able to help. [url="http://www.fasnyfiremuseum.com/contactus.php"]Contact Form[/url] Ask for Paul, I think he's the curator.[/quote]
Agree with Ed on the hose. 1-1/2" hose was about 100 years later if this was from 1850.
