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.

Nissan 370Z Roadster (2009): full official photos
Tue, 07 Apr 2009By Tim Pollard First Official Pictures 07 April 2009 22:01 Nissan has released its full official photos of the new 370Z Roadster in New York ahead of its debut at the 2009 auto show. As expected, it's a straightforward decapitation of the thrill-seeking 370Z Coupe, with a good, old-fashioned canvas soft-top in keeping with the Zed's no-nonsense character.There's structural reinforcement in the A-pillars and side sills to counter the lack of roof, but Nissan says numerous body panels are made from aluminium to keep weight in check. The bonnet, door panels and bootlid are all crafted from the lightweight metal and there are individual, fixed roll bars behind each seat.Providing the fun is the 327bhp/270lb ft 3.7-litre V6 with variable valve lift and the choice of a seven-speed auto or six-speed manual transmission.
