Central Pneumatic Hose Reel Guide Arm

The item is a bright yellow, bent metal component, likely formed from a single sheet of steel or a similar durable alloy, featuring a prominent 'Central Pneumatic' branding along with its distinctive 'C' logo. It appears to be a guide arm or a portion of a mounting bracket for a hose reel system. The component is characterized by its vivid yellow painted finish, which shows some scuffs, dirt, and minor wear marks consistent with use in a workshop or garage environment, but no significant damage like bends or fractures are immediately visible. The paint has a matte or semi-gloss finish. Several silver-colored bolts and nuts are visible, securing different sections of the component together or serving as mounting points. One central bolt with a larger nut suggests a pivot or attachment point, indicating a moving part or a primary mounting location. The overall construction appears robust, designed for repetitive motion and industrial use. The 'Central Pneumatic' branding is clearly printed in black, orientated vertically along the length of both visible sections of the arm. The design incorporates a curved cutout on one edge, suggesting it interacts with a circular component, such as a hose reel drum. The item's condition indicates it is used but still functional, with the wear being superficial rather than structural. Given the brand and physical characteristics, it is a utilitarian industrial or automotive tool accessory, likely manufactured in the modern era (post-1980s) due to its contemporary branding and material appearance. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced industrial components, prioritizing functionality and durability over intricate aesthetics.
