Thanks Brad for posting that.

I was told by Dan R that this picture was a taken of a Providence Firefighter. Generations before we came along.

As I understand it, the hook had to be screwed onto the handle before it could be used.

As you can see in the pictures, the Providence Shops did a GREAT JOB. I was told they did most of the work themselves.

Some FDNY Photos included too.
