Restoration Of The Empress Centribine Water Sprinkler

Hi welcome back, This is my second youtube video and i hope you enjoy it. In this video i’m restoring a centribine garden water sprinkler. I found this lovely object on ebay and paid £11 for it, Still in great condition i stripped it down and gave it a new coat of paint and a good buffing. The Empress company released the centribine sprinkler between 1930 and 1940 i’m not entirely sure of the exact date there was very little history available on the internet. I did however find the catalog image of it and it was made by William & H. H. James ltd of the Empress works, st. anne’s road willenhal staffordshire. They released the sprinkler along with a whole range of other gardening tools and equipment. You can check out there beautiful tools by following this link.
