The tank spout was part of the collection of the Galloping Goose Historical Society in the RGS Museum in Dolores for several years. (Jeff is right.) It was accessioned to the Rico Historical Society a couple of years ago because we (the GGHS board and the folks in Rico) decided it should be on the tank again in Rico, not laying on the floor of the museum Dolores. How it ended up in Dolores is another story. You can see it when we had it on display if you go to our website and click the “Museum” tab.
