John Anderson's Fire Hydrant Collection
  • John started collecting in August, 1999. He collected almost any variation in manufacturer, model, nozzle configuration, size, and barrel detail.
  • His personal collection was sold and has become part of a large private museum.
    • Below is a summary of John's entire collection. To view photos of his collection click on the appropriate page number in the summary or use the navigation bar at the bottom of the page. 'Subsets' of his collection can be viewed on these separate pages: Canadian hydrants, City Spec hydrants, and Wet Barrel hydrants.
