    Anyone know anything about this fire extinguisher, age, value, etc? Were these the wheels or were they rubber?

      Hasn't been that long since I saw these at airports at work. Wait, - maybe it has been a long time! Amazing how time flies when you're having f---king fun! Actually, I do see these still (rusting) around airports. Are they worth anything?

      Old & whatever you can get for them!
      There's usually a buyer for everything.

      Problem is Walks, shipping & getting thru the U.S. gestapo. They would probably drill holes all thru them & in my experience, never fail to break or destroy.

      I guess you'll have to salvage them from the airport & sell them local then!

      Walks, this is a 37 sq. mi. island with a very limited market for anything like this.
    6. walksoftly walksoftly, 10 years ago
      There has to be one or two wealthy people on that Island, or a tourist willing to have it shipped home!

      Hey, maybe a local will buy one to make a BIG bong out of it. Walks, no place to display for marketing even if I were interested in doing it. Anything let unattended is nicked real quick here & I've found it convenient for getting rid of my garbage without driving to the dumpster. There is a French one in our service area & may even still work.
