I got it for $1.00 , ''THE NIAGARA '' kind of cool . I haven't been able to find another , except a dead link .
It's on ebay now .

I seem to recall my grandmother having a ring sprinkler like that when I was little. Cool for a buck!

Nice! Haven't seen a brass one in a long long time. They got plastic ones at the 99 cent store so you scored! Oh, if you use it don't leave it out overnight!

Those did a great job of watering the grass. They were also fun to run thru on a hot summer day.

Doing a google search, I found a reference to it in a 1909 Canadian hardware weekly. Cool find. It's mentioned in here somewhere lol... https://archive.org/stream/hardmerchaprjun1909toro/hardmerchaprjun1909toro_djvu.txt

Cool find.
The quality of yesterdays things.

Today that same item would be plastic with a life of maybe a year... and made in China. heh

Open a lawn sprinkler museum as a tax right off. I found this one at a site the former residence of my area once tossed all their old junk away. Form what find around there, it appears folks were dumping stuff there from the late 19th century and looks as if it was put to a stop around the 1970s as it was most likely deemed an illegal dump by then?. You can have this old sprinkler as a donation to your Sprinkler History Museum.
