This is my 1960s fire hydrant that I bought off a guy in glens falls. I had no idea how big or HEAVY it was untill me and my girlfriend got there! It weighs around 300 pounds!!! When I ask my girlfriend if she wanted to help lift it she grabbed on to it and then we attempted to carry it until she dropped it on her leg..... When I asked the guy where he got this he told me he found it in his back yard river when he first moved into his house. What a great peice of history.
I have no idea why after downloading the image it converts it sideways.
You're using a phone aren't you?
Try cropping the photo, some people have luck with that. Or send it from a computer.
I don't have a wifi at my house so I only get to upload from my phone..
fixed it!
Good I can put my monitor back to horizontal now:-)
Haha I went to work and fixed it :)
Hi VW, if you don't mind me asking... how much did you pay for it?
I don't mind at all! I'm proud of every price I pay!! I got it for $50. I believe it's worth almost $300
Hi VW, you should be proud that was a great deal. At that weight I wouldn't be the surprise is it were worth even more at a scrap yard.
I am proud of the prices I paid for a lot of my pieces as well.
I was going to post the prices, but I didn't know if it would be proper etiquette for this site. I received a thorough hazing when I first joined, so I tend to tiptoe and walksoftly now ;^) so to speak. (pun intended David xo)
Yea I know what you've been through. I got harassed yesterday about an item I wanted to buy and I was trying to find out what it was worth so I could get it for the right price but then everyone started to complain and say I was taking advantage of the site. I was just trying to find out whether or not to buy it.
I understand, I was doing the same over a bedroom suite (which I did buy).
It can be hard on newbies, but I hope you stick it out because there are some really wonderful people on this site who can help guide you. And you should be very proud of yourself #1 for your conduct, you handled it very respectfully. #2 to be so young and have such a good head on your shoulders. Keep collecting, you're off to a great start, nice nest egg for your future. ;^)
Well thank you it's good to hear that :)
Well spoken Aim re #1 & #2 in above comment & I like your pun.
You are very welcome VW =^)
And big ole bear hug David... He's one of the best here VW
Thank you Aim you put a smile on my face & made my day. :-)))
You are most welcome my friend. There are very few people as good as you David. You should smile big everyday.
I'm Canadian we're all nice! haha
No.... its U.
Baby seals O.o
Okay you're making me blush & it's going to go to my head.
I better go do some work, but I'm not sure my head will fit through the door.
VW please don't tease the old dawgs on here, they may bite :^P
LoL eye xo
It sure does eye. I have lots of firefighter pieces but no hydrants. Don't call this a fire hydrant in front of a firefighter they will quickly tell you that fire does not come out of it. LoL
Do you have a dog? lol...
That's correct eye. Just hydrant ;^) see... us newbie whipper snappers are good for something after-all Hehehe
Yes toolate... 3 too many and only one faux concrete hydrant. The problem is all 3 are girls.
Now I know where that hydrant went.... I'm from Glens Falls and have been looking for that!!!!!! vw, don't worry about people giving you a hard time, just select "delete comment" and carry on. That rail light is worth the 100 all day long that's why I said offer 75 and you'll be happy!
Well they deleted my railroad post but I just needed to know more about it. I mean ya it was a cool peice but it was in rough shape so I just wanted to make sure I was buying for a goo price. Thank you for all the support and comments
Buy it and repost Hun. =^)
Get in your convertible & go buy that thing, second thought leave the car hidden around the corner & only take $75 with you!
LmboOoOo David!! Yeah, put on raggedy clothes VW and drive this... http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/103165-mustang-lawnman?in=user
Haha he wouldn't know what to do. I mean the thing is only 10 min away so if I really wanted to I could drive the lawn mower over :)
Omgosh too funny. VW if you do, make a YouTube of it LmboOoOo!!
Is that ten minutes by car or mower?
Hahaha David. I thought it but didn't ask.
