An easy way to spot these bonnets atop New York City's fire hydrants is to note that Acme Foundry is the only maker which supplied smooth bonnets, unlike the fluted bonnets of other New York City hydrants. It appears that many of these bonnets have a newer appearance, leading us to believe they are simply machined at a foundry, not part of an entire hydrant. This particular Acme Foundry bonnet sits atop a 1988 US Pipe Series "S" fire hydrant barrel.
