Vintage essanay fire extinguisher

Description

Made of Copper & Brass by the  Pyrene Manufacturing Co.
This Extinguisher is a 2 1/2 gallon soda & acid Fire Extinguisher and is approximately 100 + years old
These were baking soda, acid fire extinguishers. To activate you turned them upside down, dumping the baking soda into the acid water. The results of the mixing were the production of Carbon dioxide gas, and pressure to propel the liquid at the fire, and some extinguishing through the production of the carbon dioxide.
Doesn't have hose, would be great for collection or to be restored. Message for any questions
