Looking for any information on any of Ossining's apparatus and equipment from the late 1800's and early 1900's.

Thanks!

Thank you for these pictures.

The real question I'm trying to answer is about a 2 wheel, hand pulled, hose cart with 500 feet of hose that the Ossining owned, which was supposedly sold to Briarcliff in 1909 for $30. Pictures would be great, if they exist, but any information related to this who be even better.
