Eclipse Fender
Brass Kit: Containing
all castings, rods, and etched webbing to make a complete
eclipse fender. These fenders were common to many streetcars,
and were used to save pedestrians while having close encounters
with moving vehicles. There were many different types of
lifeguards. This one was made famous by it’s inventor
having a movie reel taken of him being “hit” by a
trolley with an eclipse fender. The fender has a fire hose
(brass tube on the model) so,when someone is struck, there is
some cushioning for his or her ankle. Most cities or states
still require some sort of devise for the protection of its
citizens. This one is carefully folded up when not in use, or
toconserve car barn space.
$49.99 each
