Fire Extinguisher

Description:
            Absolutely beautiful vintage fire extinguisher in fantastic condition. This large copper fire extinguisher was manufactured by LaFrance Fire Engine & Foamite Limited and distributed by Universal Fire Protection Co., Toronto Ontario. It features all the original finishing including original paint, leather extinguisher hose, and manufacturers hang tag. This is a wonderful piece of Canadian industrial and fire protection history perfect for display due to its near mint condition, bright colors ( copper, red, green and yellow ), and size. The only wear to this item is a consistent patina to the exterior found across the entire item, some flecks of paint that have fallen off and creases to the hang tag. This is a real fire extinguisher that was fully operational upon its production and as is comes with fluid inside, however it appears to be at diminished capacity and most likely completely inert and nonfunctioning.
