today I took my sick puppy (not a puppy, she's 9 and it's not this one, he just had to come along for the ride) to the vet. there was a hydrant there.
of COURSE there was a hydrant there.
The original color of this fire hydrant was yellow with a blue cap, but I like to imagine it looking like this in my mind.
It looks like perhaps the city should find someone to paint the fire hydrants this summer.

Found this old 5 1/4" hydrant alongside a frontage road between some abandoned manufacturing facilities and the main CSX RR tracks that bisect my hometown. Has 1948 stamped above the nozzle openings of which the caps have been long lost to vandals or ne'erdowells.

Each hydrant has its own character like this photo.
It's a pity I just took a picture of him. I shoud have
taken other photos of his friends or family. (^^

In the early 1920s, Jones worked with the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power to custom design the service brass which later became a standard part of the Jones product line. During both World War I and World War II, Jones supplied water, gas and steam valves for the Navy’s battleships and destroyers. In 1926, Jones built it’s first bronze fire hydrant at the request of the Fire Chief of Monrovia, California.
Although Jones was not the first company to market a wet barrel hydrant, it was the first to cast a wet barrel hydrant in bronze. Jones turned the use of bronze into a marketing advantage, selling the product based upon the long term benefits of bronze over iron. For example, the City of Beverly Hills replaced one of the first Jones hydrants (believed to have been installed in 1926) after over 60 years of service.
The Jones bronze wet barrel hydrant remains the preferred fire hydrant in most parts of California.
