Went digging at a local spot again with my son Quincy today and found a few cool things, local druggist, Doct Marshals snuff etc. But I think the coolest is the embossed fire extinguisher bottle. Not sure if it was for inside an automobile, or if it is a sample bottle? Hard to figure, as its so puny, 3 1/2" tall. I guess it would be for on the mantle of a fireplace maybe, but I can't imagine it would put out much of a fire.
It has a tooled lip, and is embossed ' FOX FULTZ & WEBSTER / NEW YORK & BOSTON - DIAMOND BRAND trade mark.
Of course it's probably worth $5, but in my head I'm thinking it's a super rare salesman's sample fire grenade bottle. Anyone ever seen one? I've googled it to death, and fire grenade stuff is hard to get "readable" info on, compared to bottles.
First time I've ever had to drag Quincy away from a dig, it was a nice cool day, and he was finding marbles and bottles, ( he found the Doct Marshalls )
