Vintage brass garden hose nozzle with an adjustable twist barrel, a classic watering tool built for everyday garden use and now equally at home in a vintage tool collection.
This solid brass hose nozzle adjusts from a gentle spray to a stronger stream by twisting the knurled barrel. It also makes an attractive farmhouse or garden shed display piece.

Collector's Notes
Brass twist nozzles like this were common garden tools throughout much of the twentieth century because they were durable and easy to repair.
Today they're appreciated by gardeners, vintage tool collectors, and anyone decorating a potting bench or garden shed.
The original patina gives this example the well used character many collectors prefer.
A practical old tool that's just as interesting on display as it is in a collection.
