This is part of my Mueller Centurion Fire Hydrant restoration, that can be found here:

The 4 1/2 inch outlet on the front is called the steamer outlet in the firefighting world. It goes back to the days when they actually used steam powered engines to pump water. I am a retired water supply operator and also a retired volunteer fire fighter. Your description of the hydrant is pretty much spot on.

Looks like a banjo connection

I have a very nice old Mueller I found in a antique store.. I wish I could tell you the year it was made but no date on it... When I was restoring it I had to replace the two small nozzles because they were both odd sizes and not two and a half inches but more like two and a quarter inch 🤔 Couldn't figure out why that was but I removed those nozzles and replaced them with a standard two and a half inch size! Had a hard time finding one's that would work but I'm pretty resorsful . This hydrant only has the name of Mueller, Chatta.Tenn., and 41/4"... As I mentioned,no date...
