Very cool!!!
FLoater took the words right out of my mouth,,, is it Copper, or Brass?...
There have been some realy neat and interesting finds on here this week, huh

That is a very cool find. I would guess the age as a little later though. I would guess around the early 1950's. I would also guess that it's brass. Most of them were, the larger soda acid type came in copper and brass. I have a few of these, they have carbon tetrachloride in them. If it has any liquid in it be sure to dispose of it properly(the liquid). It's really not dangerous unless heated!! Fumes are then poisonous, thats why their not around any more. This is what I've been doing of twenty years, servicing fire equipment.

Crawl spaces have always had my attention. Lots of treasure to be found under those old houses. When I was a kid I found an old beer can under our house and sold it at a local beer can show for 30 bucks. Been hooked on treasure hunting ever since. Nice find. Love the old fire ext.
