A substantial vintage brass hand-pump fire extinguisher with a tall cylindrical body, riveted construction, domed shoulder and original removable pump mechanism. This form is characteristic of early hand-operated fire extinguishers intended to discharge liquid through the side nozzle.
The extinguisher has an excellent untouched industrial appearance, with a deep aged patina, surface marks, tarnishing and minor knocks developed through years of use. The removable internal assembly remains present and is shown outside the cylinder in the photographs, making this a particularly interesting display piece.
The cylinder is empty and not pressurised. The mechanism has not been tested and the item is sold solely as a decorative antique, collection piece or film and theatre prop. It must not be relied upon as working fire-safety equipment.
There is general wear throughout, including scratches, oxidation, discolouration and small dents consistent with age and former practical use. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.
The extinguisher measures approximately 63 cm / 24.8 inches tall.
