Is it cool to promote eBay sales here? These are cool bottles.
RARE AMBER FIRE GRENADE BOTTLES ON EBAY
They are fire grenades, and usually kept by the furnace or fireplace in early homesteads.
These are a pair because, although different colours they are both the same patent
the amber is embossed with the patent information,
PATENT NOV 28, 1884
the aqua bottle is now a sheertop while the amber bottle retains some of its glass lip.
What was the liquid inside a fire grenade?
i love chemistry and i read that early on, "Various fluids have been used in the grenade and the most effective was found to be carbon tetrachloride. It was discovered that the carbon tetrachloride, when inhaled, caused respiratory problems and the liquid was then changed to salt water."
The bidding on the auction starts at 99 cents.
