Mounted copper fire extinguisher

3D Model

This item appears to be a copper fire extinguisher (Photograph 1). The eye-holes at the base of the item suggest that it would have been bolted to a fire truck, or perhaps a fire boat. Although the item has no manufacturing date or information on it, a 1923 advertisement for a Stutz fire truck (Figure 1) illustrates three types of mounted extinguishers on the side and rear of the truck is an example of this type of apparatus. Fire departments in the area would have used this type of extinguisher.
