Pratt & Cady - Hartford, CT
Very little information regarding The Pratt & Cady Company of Hartford, Connecticut is known; other than the fact that they made hydrants in the 1890s and continued through the 1920s as evidenced by various patent dates. A brochure of unknown vintage with the title A New Departure: The Hartford Hydrant Hose Case Co. describes an invention patented in 1920 and made by Pratt & Cady for a self-contained hydrant hose accessory intended for residential use. If you have any information about the company or the
