c. 1950s-1960s; Clow Corporation - Oskaloosa, IA
Factory cutaway demonstrator model of a Clow fire hydrant, mounted vertically on a hardwood display base and housed in its original fitted case. The hydrant body is sectioned to reveal internal components including the valve assembly, stem, and water passage, offering a clear view of how the mechanism operates under pressure. Exterior surfaces retain their original painted finish-red body with blue cap and fittings-while the interior is left exposed and cleanly machined for instructional visibility.
Markings on the body read "Clow Corp, Oskaloosa, Iowa" along with model and pressure specifications, grounding the piece firmly in mid-century municipal waterworks manufacturing. The cutaway sections are precisely executed, suggesting use as a sales or training tool for contractors, city engineers, or utility departments.
