Hi all you Fire Grenade people. I have a few and like some of you - I've been around the carbon tetrachloride a lot in my carburetor research days with Bendix. I wouldn't drain the old hand blown fire extinguishers that had the cemented in seal. It is too easy to brake the bursted-off finish top on them. It also kills their collector value in my book. The Red Comment and that type of fire grenade are not old enough to interest me. Their manufacture was too modern to make them interesting - unless you were into fire equipment. Which reminds me I have a twenty foot double tapered side rails fire truck ladder that was made out of solid mahogany. I have tried to sell it but haven't found a buyer that appreciates it as much as I do. RED Matthews
Anyone still interested in getting their hands on one of these? I still have one avail. Metal hanger and plates in great condition. Red paint is chipping off the glass.
