An antique chemical fire extinguisher of cylindrical form, constructed from copper sheet with two horizontal riveted reinforcement bands and a domed top. The unit is fitted with a cast brass valve assembly featuring a manual turn-screw handle and a discharge nozzle. This style of extinguisher was common in industrial and commercial settings during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While the form is consistent with manufacturers such as Alfco or Essanay, no maker’s stamps or identification plates are legible due to surface condition.
