      That is a really nice piece!! I have never seen one like it before. It might have carbon tet in it.

      Thanks packrat. I got an email from oldfirestuff.com. a collector of fire fighting stuff. He has one and says the chemical is simply called Dri-Gas and that these are highly sought after. You could be right on carbon tet. Probably didn,t have to disclose chemical used back then.
