    Here's a Lawn Sprinkler from 1890 called "The Twin Comet" and made by E. Stebbing Mfg. Co. of Brightwood, Mass.
    It was made for and marketed by J. B. Fellows & Co. of Boston Mass. The first three photos are my sprinkler and show that only one sprinkling wand is remaining. I will make a new set of wands for it.
    The last photo shows an advertising for this sprinkler.
    It's interesting that the lettering on the gear tells you that it was E. Stebbing Co. of Brightwood, Mass..... and if you look close at the advertising, it tells you the name is E. Stebbins Mfg. Co. of Springfield, Mass.
