Vintage Lawn Sprinkler store Propeller Style Art Deco - Pressed Brass Spinner Metal Stem & Base-Original Finish Garden Collectable Sprinkler Decor

Vintage Art Deco Propeller Style Spinning Sprinkler - Circa Late 1920-30's

I have always liked these early lawn sprinklers, especially if found in original paint/condition - they may not be as efficient as the later spin/oscillating versions - but, they have a stylistic simplicity which catches and holds the eye - essentially they have been retired, and have now become highly sought after collectables/memorabilia.

In as found/used condition - untouched by me - sturdy and intact - made of steel and brass - the spinner is a pressed brass fabrication, there do not appear to be any breaks, cracks, or repairs - nor has it been twisted or bent out of shape - turns readily - ample remnants of the original red finish and an aged patina on the propeller - surface rust and tarnish consistent with age and usage - the hose connection is brass and appears to be in good order.

There are no visible makers markings.

Specs:
height is approximately 8 ins
width of base is approximately 6,25 ins
span of propeller is approximately 11 ins

A nice one - you just do not come across many in this early style and good original surface/condition - a great gardening collectable.

My personal preference would be leave it as is/found - a genuine piece of gardening memorabilia - so I would refrain from undertaking any kind of restoration.
