    Description

    This is a nice vintage Firestone Supreme lawn sprinkler in excellent condition.
    According to my limited research, Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone became friends after Ford realized his tires were not as well made at those of Firestone and he entered a business partnership with him..  The two began a friendship which lasted for decades.
    At one point, Ford told Firestone he should come up with a promotional giveaway to help sell tires. Ford assisted Firestone with the design of the sprinkler which became a promotional giveaway when customers purchased a set of tires.  The sprinkler is made of 5 parts, all brass and was designed to be made with materials on hand for very little cost.
    This example is in excellent condition with no damage or issues. The rubber gasket is still in place in the connector though it should be replaced if the sprinkler is to be used as intended.  The base is 6" in diameter and the sprinkler measures about 2 3/4" tall.
    Please look at the above images, they show more detail than I can describe here.
    Shipping to the USA will be via priority mail.  International buyers I will ship to your preference and this sprinkler weighs about 1-2 pounds packed. I also combine shipping in an effort to save you money on shipping.
