Of New York interest, a brass fire hose nozzle as a presentation lamp, 19th century,presented to William Woodhull, a Brooklyn, New York fireman, inscribed to the horn 'Oceana Hose Co. No 36 Wm. A Woodhull 1853-1865'63cm high to top of light fittingFootnote: Aptly fashioned from the brass nozzle of a 19th century fire hose, the present lot was gifted to William A. Woodhull in 1865 in recognition of his tireless service to the Oceana Hose Company No.36. A New York native, Woodhull began his career in 1847, when, aged 21, he joined the First Ward Hose Company No.8, before transferring to Oceana Hose, 36, three and a half years later. After serving as the Oceana’s foreman for three years, Woodhull resigned in 1855 to become the department’s secretary, before later serving as the vice-president for the 36. An illustration featured in Augustine Costello’s 1887 publication, Our Firemen: A History of the New York Fire Departments, Volunteer and Paid, from 1609 to 1887, depicts Woodhull clutching a brass nozzle, very similar to that which forms the base of the present lot, alongside his helmet frontispiece, which reads, ‘FOREMAN HOSE / 36 / WAW’. Initially situated on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, by the time Woodhull had joined its ranks, the Oceana Hose Company No.36 had relocated to Madison Street, near Rutgers, New York. Widely regarded as the state’s most prestigious firefighting department, Company 36 was known for both its discerning hiring policy and for possessing the finest fleet of carriages in New York. Whilst the exclusivity of the Company occasionally attracted jealousy from neighbouring Departments, records show that the efficacy and commitment of Oceana crew was never exceeded by any other.
