What Kind of Nozzle is this???

Maybe someone out there can help me.....what kind of nozzle is this? When did they use them? Is it worth anything??

I actually decided to play around with it and it actually was a neat little old nozzle!

Looks like maybe an old navy nozzle type. I guess before there were the combi nozzles, other than smooth bore, you had to have a different type for a fog pattern. Maybe someone else knows better, but I'd clean it up and put it on the mantle.

The name stamped into the base says it all! As TaskForce171 wrote this is a "Fog nozzle". They were all the rage after WWII. From the photos it appears that this is an 1 1/2" nozzle. It's worth $50 to as much as $75 (you just never know what someone will pay). It will also look nice sitting on your desk or a shelf!
