Authentic early 1900s ESSANAY soda-acid fire extinguisher complete with its original internal glass bottle and protective cage. Professionally conserved and preserved with care, retaining its original character, patina, and strong visual presence. Professionally packed for fragile shipment. Ships next business day. Full refund if damaged in transit.
A substantial antique example of early American firefighting equipment, constructed of copper and brass with a fully legible brass instruction plaque. Recessed lettering has been carefully re-darkened for readability, while cleaning was intentionally restrained to preserve age, factory character, and honest wear. The surface has been protected with Renaissance Wax for long-term preservation without altering tone or texture.
Complete examples are increasingly difficult to find, especially with the original bottle assembly still present. Includes copper body, brass top/plunger assembly, discharge rod, mounting hardware, original internal glass bottle, and protective bottle cage. No lamp conversion, no decorative repurpose, and no heavy over-polishing.
Displays exceptionally well in industrial, loft, firehouse, library, office, or curated antique interiors. Strong piece for collectors of early safety equipment, firefighting history, copper/brass industrial objects, and American manufacturing.
Condition is very good for age with expected wear, marks, and patina from time and use. Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the description.
