For you extinguisher collectors out there..

This is from "the other site"!

It's for sale and there's 250 on it but could shift for 230.

You can get them for far less than that! Hundreds knocking around in the US and you can pick one up & ship it for £50 (as I have done in the past.

A rare type in the UK, a few UK companies did ship them over in the early 20th century, but we have always preferred to make our own & favoured the cheaper lead coated steel body over copper & brass for our soda acid & chemical foam extinguishers.

This one is a US model, the brand name playing on the fact that it has UL approval (akin to having a BS kitemark)
