    This extinguisher, left in an old building for years, was made in a nearby town of under 700 people.

    The Security Fire Extinguisher by Hudson Mfg. Co. of Sheridan, Michigan.

    It's funny that I collect paper labels-- and my first extinguisher is a paper-label version.

    You pull the plug and toss the powder at the fire. here was an apparatus for it at one point that pulled the plug for you.

    This is circa the 1930s (I found one 1936 reference).
