You won’t be able to put out any fires, but you will warm someone’s heart with this antique COPPER fire extinguisher. A hand-cut intricate flower design makes this a conversation piece. Indoor or outdoor decor. Perfect next to your soda, screened porch, or front steps. Add a battery-operated lights (not included) to create a luminary.
The labels are well preserved and easy to read. RED STAR, THE GENERAL DETROIT CORP, CHICAGO — DETROIT — NEW YORK… (see picture for image of complete embossed labels.)
Measures 23.75” tall x 7.25” wide and weighs 13 lbs.
Because this was a working fire extinguisher and its age, the copper has patinaed in certain areas (see pictures). The hose is in very good shape and the top screws off easily. It is a very charming piece of American history and quite solid.
If you would like a hole cut in the bottom of the fire extinguisher to run electric lighting, please leave a comment at checkout, and I’ll do that for you.
