ANTIQUE CAST IRON ATOMIC ROCKET ART DECO LAWN SPRINKLER GARDEN COLLECTIBLE 1930
ITEM DESCRIPTION :
Hello and thank you for expressing an interest in my auction. I am offering for your consideration the following.  Here is a "
Very Nice
" old vintage antique cast iron lawn sprinkler. It is called the
Atomic Rocket
by many collectors because of the style of the spread winged and pointed rear tip design pattern, which when stood up on end it appears to look like an early atomic super rocket ready to launch into space, thus the nick name -
Atomic Rocket
.
ITEM CONDITION
:  The over all condition is "
Great Condition
" considering the age and what it was used for. This solid cast iron sprinkler still has the original solid aluminum spinner top and brass screw, with most of the original slightly faded hunter green paint, and it "
Works Perfectly
" as seen in the picture I posted. There are no breaks, chips, cracks, pitting, or factory manufacturing errors, it does need a new rubber washer inside because the old black rubber one had hardened. The Atomic Rocket design is not that common and when they surface you will see them in at least 3 to 4 different spinner top designs, this one is the least common to find because old solid cast aluminum when exposed to the exterior elements after years of use usually pits and corrodes and flakes away or crumbles, this spinner is great. Many people collect various styles of antique lawn sprinklers and they usually desire the
Atomic Rocket
for it's scarcity. This one measures -
6-3/4
inches in length,
6-3/4
inches wide ,
3-3/4
inches tall to the tip of the spinner, cast
1/4
to
3/4
inches thick. It has very, very, very light sporadic dusty surface rust which could be removed with very fine steel wool, which I'll leave for the collector. Please view all pictures very closely for the over all condition which is just super clean and exceptional. Thank you.
Remember this auction has the "
Best Offer
" option, don't hesitate to use it if you have an interest that's why it's there.
REGARDING PICTURES :
When viewing the posted pictures they may seem a little grainy or fuzzy & over or under exposed. This is because I am using an older model Sony camera that still uses floppy disks.
