Would anyone have any ideal what these Brass Eagles came off of. There are about 7" tall and 10 1/2" wide.
Cannot find and mfg. marks. I have owned them for over 20 years . Hope the pictures will give everyone a good look at them.
Thanks

That is a running board mount for a ELKHART hose control. I have only ever owned one complete one, the mount is using missing. The hose control was used as and early version of todays fire ground monitors. If you are selling them I would advertise them on the SPAAMFAA forum. J

Here is another newer generation fire ground monitor. I restored many different ones when I was collecting vintage fire engines.

Thank You very much. Not sure if I know how they worked but at least I know what they are.
Thanks again
Don

Would anyone have a picture showing how the hose control hooks to the Eagle. I
understand how the hose part works but not how they hook up. I have look on the net but can
not find a picture or very little information on these. I guess not many of these are still around
thanks

You loosen the center bolt and turn the monitor so it is parallel. Then set up on the eagle mount and tighten the 2 screws.

Here is the monitor ready to use.

Thanks again, I understand how the part that holds the hose works.
Was the Eagle bracket just used to hold the hose control when it was not being used.

Mounted on running board of fire truck to carry it.

OK, I am with you know
