'Brill' garden 4ft sprinkler

[vhgmcbuddy]

Not been on here for a while. Don’t seem to have done much of note on my collection recently.

Bought this on that auction website recently. Nobody wanted it since as it turned out it had two sprinkler arms missing. Sourced some brass tube plus end caps, so with a bit of drilling, thread turning, and polishing now have a fully functioning sprinkler.

My wife has her eye on it to water the garden, so it looks like it’ll be fully utilised.

[Brill is a German company still in existence (now mainly producing mowers) established in 1873 and by 1936 became the biggest specialised manufacturer of garden tools in Europe – apparently.]

I see photos still appear in random order rather than the order you attach them in?

The sprinkler looks good. How do you clean the brass? I’ve got a few brass syringes sat in my office window that I cleaned up and it took ages to do.

There’s some lawn sprinklers etc in the gallery which look pretty good cleaned up.

Sprayers, Misters and Dusters

Yes images do end up in an odd order, it’s possibly to do with the image megabyte size but that doesn’t actually answer the question really.
