    The Underwriter's Laboratories Serial Number is 128934, which dates this antique to approximately 1905 as embossed on the top cap.  This is a relatively low "6-digit" serial number.
    Please, please, please look at all the photographs.  I have shined this antique as well as possible but this
    was a tool to fight fires and condition of the copper shows it has been used to fight fires.  There are a few hardly noticeable blemishes, but this is not mint because it is a real piece of fire fighting history, and the copper body and brass embossed plates shine
    .  This is an actual piece of fire fighting history and it does have some signs of use as a true tool of fire fighting history would.  Some of the internal liquids got on the metal at some point as caused some hazing but it still shines beautifully, as can be seen in the pictures.  DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS BEAUTY!!!!
