These Darling hydrants had "DARLING P & M CO" (Darling Pump &
Manufacturing Co.) cast on the barrel; with no apparent model designation.
The bonnets of this first subgroup have the familiar shape of today's Darling hydrants. Included with this group is #2195 which has a fluted bonnet; perhaps representing a transition in design thinking between the first model shown above and subsequent hydrants. |
