A few pictures of my other collection.

 

Hello fellow collectors,

 

I had a few requests to post some pictures of my collection of firefighter memorabilia. It's a small collection and I only have a few pics of some of the stuff but I hope to change that in the following months.

The extinguisher I posted above is my favorite piece. It is a soda acid extinguisher from the 1940s. It is made out of brass and copper and completely restored.

 

Below is a fire hydrant I worked on.

That is cool, love the restoration work on your fire hydrant. Do you have any vintage helmets in your collection?

No helmets at this time. Just couple of extinguishers, brass sprinkler heads, small pocket size brass hand tools, and brass nozzles. The helmets are on my list though.

Very cool stuff Jeffrey;

I was watching American Restoration the other night and they were doing a large "Old Time" fire extinguisher I think from the 30's and I didn't realize they sold for so much. This thing was used in factory settings they said. Stood about 5 - 6 feet tall with a large hose. Interesting !!!!!

 

Thanks for sharing

I saw that one too. We also use those size extinguishers around aircraft so the flight crews and maintenence people can control fires in and around their aircraft.

Jeffery, That soda acid extinguisher is my favorite also!!!!! "SWEEEEET" Back then, they sure did take alot of pride when they made things. I wish we get back to those ideas from yesteryear.

Thanks for posting, looking forward for more!!!! Jimmie...
