This is a super cool and unique piece that I came across in Las Vegas while on vacation. It was an award for the Lafayette County Hose Team in Colorado on July 4th 1924. Here is some info currently on the Lafayette County Website:
"In 1898, the fire department formed a racing team and entered state and national competitions. In 1924, the Lafayette team broke the world record in the wet test using a hose cart with a time of 27 seconds. The wet test consisted of pulling the hose cart down the street for 600 feet, connecting a hose to a fire hydrant, stretching out the hose and shooting a target."
