Thats old time stuff there Sam. Not sure on the tag, what type of metal is the tag?

That nozzle would look good buffed out

SAM, I will try to get with you soon on the fire nozzle. The tag appears to be a Hotel Room Key Fob. Will check a little more and let you know...PAPPY

SAM, I need you to look the nozzle over very carefully and let me know if there are ANY type markings on it at all. The only ones I can locate with the same design as yours would be The Elkhart, Victor and Akron Nozzles. The Elkhart was Pat. in 1917 and the Victors and Akrons were in the mid 1800's....PAPPY

The tag looks like a 'clothes basket' number tag from a swimming pool.60 yrs ago when I was a little younger,several of the pools,including the 'Y' gave out tags like that with an elastic band and you wore it around your ankle.You put your clothes in the basket and turned it in and then reclaimed it when you were ready to leave.

have found these 3 listings this valve looks very similar to the one kearney poole site but not an exact match
cant seem to locate any markings on the nozzle bet if it were marked it would have been on the shut off which is missing
