Posted by michael l. gretten (72.230.40.153) on 12/06/06 I have come across what a appears to be an old(antique?) fire extinguisher. The cylinder is copper with copper rivets forming a tube with a brass bottom and top. The cylinder measures approximately 16-1/2" high and 4-1/2" diameter. The pump handle says "FYR- FYTER. On the base the number 1087 is stamped where the foot stabblizer would rotate out from the cylinder to rest your foot on it. What can you tell me about it? Would polishing it increase or decrease the value? Thank you. [ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Emporium Antiques Forum ] [ FAQ ] |
