    Description

    Up for sale here is an antique copper and brass fire extinguisher, that I've owned since 1974.
    The glass bottle with the little cage inside is gone, but if you have a picture or exact details with
    dimensions of the soda bottle, cage and stopper; we might be able to identify it and include it too.
    The top of the extinguisher, bell on the bottom, and labels are all brass. The main part of it is solid copper.
    There is damage to the bell which can be seen in picture 8 and there is a hammered out dent which is shown in picture 9.
    There are 3 original patent dates on the top of the fire extinguisher lid.  They are:
    Aug. 28, 1900 & Nov. 19, 1901 & Sept. 21, 1903.
    The last picture is a picture of several acid bottles with the holders, one of which was probably taken out of this extinguisher back in the mid 1970s, these have been sitting on the bottom of this fence for about 45 years or so.
    This used fire extinguisher
    was made in Boston Massachusetts by the Badger's Fire Extinguisher Company.
