    Description

    This listing is for a vintage Copper/Bronze W. D. Allen Mfg Co from Chicago, IL USA 2 1/2 Gallon Fire Extinguisher.
    This item comes with the original glass insert and stopper that came with these.
    Item measures approximately 23 3/4" Tall from bottom to top of turnable handle.
    There is typical patina and finish wear on the outside and inside of the extinguisher.
    The rubber hose has lots of cracks in the material as it has dried out over the years.
    The circle top of the extinguisher does have a bend in it, so it is not perfectly circular and there is a metal link attached.
    Some verdigris is present on the extinguisher.
    The metal insert that holds in the glass bottle had rusted through on one of the 4 side. The top is a circle that also purposely does not fully close to allow the removal and insertion of the implement.
    The glass bottle has a line about half way and states Acid Line. The heavy glass stopper is also present. Lots of white residue on the glass bottle and especially on the stopper.
    Glass bottle measures just under 6 1/2" tall with topper.
    For shipping the glass items will be wrapped and packaged outside of the extinguisher, while the metal insert will be in the extinguisher.
    Please do not hesitate to send a message if you have any further questions about the extinguisher. We will get back to you as quickly as possible, usually within 24 hours. Thanks for looking and have a nice day!
    Local Pick up is available, the item is located in Chicago, IL. A mutually agreed upon location can be set for pick up as well, willing to drive a little bit for a meetup.
