Vintage "rare" 1 Qt Pyrene Brass Fire Extinguisher - Hickman "sea Sled" on 2040-parts.com
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
|
This is an empty vintage and "RARE" brass fire extinguisher made by the Pyrene Mfg. Co. of Newark, NJ and it is the 1 qt. model. It comes with a Pyrene mounting bracket which has a new coat of black paint. This was made for "THE SEA SLED CORPORATION" and on the top of the domed part of the extinguisher it is embossed in the brass SEA SLED. The Sea Sled had an innovative hull design that is still used today by many boat manufacturers but failed to catch on with boaters in the last century. This is the 1 qt. model and it has been polished and lacquered. It has a few small dents and they can be seen in the pictures. The largest one is on the label at the "a" for laboratories. The other 2 dents are to the left of the label in the center. It is very rare to find a Pyrene with a boat manufacturers name embossed in the brass. I know of no other Sea Sled Pyrenes. I have pictured a late 1930's General fire extinguisher in which GAR WOOD is embossed in the brass. This is 1 of 3 known of this GAR WOOD General model and of coarse not part to this sale. General also made fire extinguishers for Chris-Craft and featured them in their accessory catalogs from 1937 to 1960. I have had 2 Chris-Craft embossed Generals in the past. I believe that this is a 1926 model by the paint scheme on the label. I will also include 2 vintage ads for Sea Sled boats. If you have that vintage Sea Sled that needs that extra something at you next boat show, this is the one for you. Please check out my other vintage fire extinguishers I have listed. I ship world wide.

Chinese storm the US
Mon, 14 Jan 2008By Liz Turner Motor Industry 14 January 2008 21:31 Two years ago, the Chinese manufacturer, Geely, parked a single saloon in the foyer of the Cobo Exhibition Centre for the auto show press day. This year five Chinese manufacturers are presenting their wares, and all have ambitions to start selling them here. Some are seeking co-operative deals with established companies, but none want the role taken by Chery, producing cars designed and engineered by Chrysler.

Drink-drive advert breaks new ground
Tue, 24 Dec 2013A NEW TELEVISION ADVERT to warn of the dangers of drink-driving is the first ever to deliberately use a drunken presenter. In the advert, an actor who was recorded the evening before having taken several alcoholic drinks is heard to slur, stumble and giggle as he tries to describe how is body feels in reaction to the alcohol. However, the film shows the same actor the next day when he appears sober but his body is still dealing with the alcohol.
