      @@capers72424 why the heck would that happen? The reason it rusted was because someone didn’t take proper care of it and plus it’s old from the 1900s it was probably in someone’s tool shed or it was some old man who left it in a barn to rust. Plus wear and tear happens after years and years anyway but NOT if you take care of it and make it shiny!

    What an absolutely ingenious device, as I kept looking at the groove on the front tire, and it never clicked in my mind that it was a guide for the actual hose. I had just assumed you would just pull the hose and since it has wheels, you move it around as needed(more work than was needed), obviously someone had a lot bigger brain than mine. LOL

They still sell a version of it here in the U.S., but I'm not sure how the quality is compared to what they sold 50 years ago. If I had to guess, it wouldn't be that it is as good or better than the one we had.
