Vintage Brass General Quick-aid Fire Extinguisher "1949 - 1952" Chris-craft" on 2040-parts.com
Minneapolis, Minnesota, US
This is a vintage EMPTY brass fire
extinguisher made by The General Detroit Corp. and it is the Quick-Aid
model 85. It is the 1qt. size and is about 14” long and comes with
it's mounting bracket which has a new coat of maroon paint. This has
been polished and lacquered. This has no dents and no dings and as you
can see in the pictures, it displays very well. The label still
retains most of it's original paint. Someone did a lot of research
on the web site www.vintagefe.com
and that site states that General fire extinguishers were featured in
Chris-Craft catalogs from 1937 thru 1960. This would be the correct
model of extinguisher that would have gone a 1949 thru 1952
Chris-Craft boat. This would made a great addition to your vintage
boat that needs that extra something. Please check out my ebay store for other vintage fire extinguishers.
