    I am completely stumped on the fire extinguisher in the middle. I cannot find anything accept fire grenades made by Hardens. I have since polished it and it looks great. I would like to know how old? If it's rare etc. Thanks

      Bet it's also either foam or soda-acid. Since it has to be turned upside down to operate, it would indicate that chamicals had to be mixed to create the pressure to discharge.

      Harden made the fire grenades first then the uprights. Turn of the century with the rivets. One of the hardes to fine in soda -acid, The top is brass and the rest sould be made of copper. I lot of the copper and brass was melted down for the war effort.
