1097 The Crayon Arizona Walnut

The Crayon. This is my interpretation of a ca. 1905 "Standard" #hydrant by the Crane Co, Chicago. The light switch is in the right port but at the request of a lefty I can move it to the left hose port. The penta bolts are salvage, from an ebay store. Two of them are converted into penta nuts. The penta nut on the power switch has a set screw gripping the head of the rotary switch. There is a walnut octo washer on top of the bonnet, under the top penta nut. The piece serving as a chain hanger under the bonnet is salvage from a bike chain. 8-5/8” diameter, x 16-3/4” to the base of the harp.
