Thank you for watching my video! After you finish watching you should check this Yellowed Playstation PS1 here: 😎🥰 th-cam.com/video/4HBr8NE17oc/w-d-xo.html
Entropy being a firefighter here in the Us we have a can that holds 8 gallons and that can put out a lot fire. These small extinguishers can put out a lot of fire when used property.
I agree that this little unit can put out a lot of fire when used correctly,we restored a few to display with our 1914 Buick hose wagon when I was an active firefighter
Do you know how many people would look at this and throw it out not having one itty bitty amount of respect for how old this fire extinguisher is or how much it is a part of history? I would be happy to put it on display given how pretty it looks at the end and I know some boys who have "man caves" who would absolutely love to have it in there. Another job well done and another part of history saved and respected :D
My brother-in-law owns a company supplying and installing fire suppression systems and he has a polished antique brass fire extinguisher on display in his house. It looks good but it's not usable.
@@Ryenalds071 Reread what I said and you will understand that I totally agree. Quote: "Another job well done and another part of history saved and respected :D"
I found an antique brass fire extinguisher in a garbage pile of an abandoned field house about 4 years ago. Polished it up, and sold it for about $25 Cad. Pretty good for something somebody thought was trash. Keep up the great videos!
I like so much better how things looked 100, 110 years ago. Everything was ornamented: buildings, park benches, lamp posts, fire extinguishers, everything. Form didn't follow so far behind function. Beautiful job, as always!
The most beautiful squirt gun in the world!! It won't put out a fire but it will get you wet! Very old school and cool! it must have been made in the late 1800s' or early 1900s' when everything was made to last and people had dignity and a quality of life and respect. It must have been wonderful to have lived then, but I'll never know. The only thing that I can do is watch from the outside and admire the beauty of such things. These would never put out a fire as they just didn't have the technology that we have today. But they did look pretty hanging from the wall. Thank you so very much for sharing this with the rest of us. I appreciate this kind of craftsmanship so much.
Damn!! You mean to tell me that those fire extinguishers were made to be that shiny and beautiful?!?! Growing up, I have seen lots of old copper fire extinguishers that were in good condition. But, none of them looked that nice. I had absolutely no clue how artistically they were designed. Great restoration, sir!
I think this is the first thing you restored where I actually like it better before. The old patina on the "label" looked really cool. Oh well, nice job anyway :)
@@-Sergey_ A numismatist is a COIN COLLECTOR, but of course you already knew that. I too like old world things with quality and class - two things that no longer exist in todays' world of throw away junk!
These type of fire extinguishers typically used a chemical agent to extinguish a fire, not water. One of the chemicals used was carbon tetra chloride, pretty nasty stuff. I understand the concept is the extinguishing agent caused a chemical reaction that smothered the fire by removing available oxygen.
I believe that ;you are correct. That Pyrene extinguisher used carbon tetrachloride as the extinguishing agent. In those days, even young stamp collectors used carbon tet. It was used to identify watermarks on the reverse of stamps.
Filled with 'Pyrene' so would have been used on a commercial vehicle, like a bus or truck. A desirable item with it's bracket, if you're restoring a vintage vehicle. I enjoyed watching that.
In it's original state, those extinguishers were quite useful. They weren't filled with water, but carbon tetrachloride - a vaporizing liquid that is amazing at putting out fires by basically stopping the chain reaction that a fire needs to continue burning. But since carbon tetrachloride was found to be an ozone depleting agent, fire extinguishers with it were phased out in the 1980s and 1990s. These days, you will only find them in commercial aircrafts, since they don't run the risk of suffocating passengers if used to combat a fire.
Love your work. However on this piece I would have left the patina, dirt and all. I love old stuff, the wear, age, patina, dirt....all of it! Keep up the great videos!
@@SwedDRPlastic it would be leaded solder heat it up in the oven it would have came apart. but then again that is only if it was soldered i am willing to bet it was not and the seals were made to be able to be replaced he would have got more water out the tip and further possibly
From 0 to 10. 10 for the restoration of the fire extinguisher that was incredible. Now the functionality does not deserve 0,5. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Brasil, 22/03/2019
I have two of these, both polished with tripoli and then jewellers rouge, they are on the wall in my man cave , i also have a marine fire extinguisher which was originally painted blue, but which is now shiny brass. Nice job you did on yours, very good. Tony, Australia.
Hey man, can you please give stuff like this to museums? After you bring them back to their original condition it would be great to let others see how stuff like this looked like.
usually I watch your efforts on my tv, you can't comment in that mode. my wife and I enjoy your restorations. There is only one thing I would like to say about this. One of the reasons these had fallen from common use is that they used what is now a hazerdous substance, it is called carbon tetrachloride. It helped to starve the fire of oxygen, but changed chemical structure when it did producing dangerous sub. chemicals. Keep up the good work we look forward to more of your work.
It looks like the rubber gasket is missing on the top, because the water is running out on both sides as you lose too much water and that is why the pressure is low.
@@Dino_Buk it is a historic device in the first place, it doesn't and shouldn't be expected to work the way it did over 100 years ago. anyone that needs to put out a fire shouldn't depend on it when there are more modern devices. so yes it is useless for what it used to be for but its still a piece of history to remember what people once depended on to put out fires.
In all the years i've refinished all types of fire extinguishers i've never seen one with a bracket. I recent sold one of those i bought years ago for a few bucks from a scrapyard.
I was hopping you were going to polish all that brass. Nice looking project. As far as being able to put out a fire, that would depend on how large the fire was... Thumbs Up!
Another amazing restoration, even though the blueish patina on the brass was gorgeous. I might have cleaned it and cleared the exterior while de-rusting the interior.
These things were deadly because: They created a sense of security but didn't put out large fires. They were filled with carbon tetrachloride, which is carcinogenic. When heated carbon tetrachloride decomposes, giving off chlorine gas. .
Lovely restoration. I think the original would have a hose with the valve, so that you could pressurize the water or water+bicarbonate inside. Not criticizing your excellent work, but you could have enameled the label background to black as well, to keep it like the original.
My grandfather had two similar to this one. He had to get them specially emptied. These type of extinguishers used chemicals, like formaldehyde. They do look good as wall hangers.
I came across your videos by accident and they make me so happy. I just love seeing old things being bought back to life. New sub here👍keep up the great work.
They are a good looking brass item, but the only times I have ever seen them employed as a fire extinguisher have been in movie comedies as their effect in putting out fires are negligible at best. Nice job, by the way!
If I do the renovation, one thing I am surely do differently. I would keep the vintage darker brass look and feel for the product usage manual, and the product name within the metal plate, and only nail polish the contour of the letters. The gold or brass and shine will surely pop with that. That brass effect solution would give an nice contrast to the rest of the fire extinguisher, and the black nail polish is a good idea to make it pretty readable, and get an icon on the wall - the proud work of the manufacturer, and the restorer.
This reminds me of when I was a kid. My mother was good friends with an old married couple that owned an antique store and there were a bunch of the old manually pressurized brass fire extinguishers in that place. My mother would spend hours visiting them over coffee and I remember being very bored by the whole affair because they didnt have anything that would interest a child save for a few dusty old board games. As an adult, I can only imagine all the incredibly interesting and valuable things they had in that place that I never even took notice of.
Gorgeous results on the exterior. If the pump seals were replaced the extinguisher would be usable on very small fires. Perhaps a small waste basket with paper which was burning. Beyond that do not waste time battling the flames. Get out and call the fire service.
Excellent restoration of a classic fire extinguisher which would today be seen as a steampunk necessity. The use of the nail polish I've never seen but would of liked to of seen the remaining embossing highlighted, maybe in red ?. Again, great work.👍👍

Now, this one I'm not sure about - you did a great job, but I really liked the way the letteriing looked before...
Yeah me too. It looked cool, unique and full of history with so many stories to tell so i would have kept it how it was.
Peace
Have to agree with you guys......
Agree totally. Much nicer with all the old patina. Should have left this one alone.
Steve SteveS Agreed. It would have been better to just give the outside and the support a good cleaning and fix the internals.

Agreed on that, everything else he´s restored I´ve been totally fine with, but this one made my heart bleed, all that patina, oh the shame of it...
Yes. The label area had a 2-tone effect. Now the whole thing is just brass.
Indeed. Poor old historical patina...It looks nice at the end, but sorry, this is not a restoration.

I think it’s pretty cool that you have the wall mount for it, those things are even more rare than the extinguisher.
You need to replace all the internal gaskets, it'll probably work much better then.
Filled with 'Pyrene' so would have been used on a commercial vehicle, like a bus or truck.

I enjoyed watching that.
Your restorations are probably much better looking than the originals. Thanks for all of your excellent videos.

Went looking in the comments for “patina perverts” found quite a few. I like cleaned up polished brass. Brings the original look back.
Agreed if you "wanna keep the patina" go find another youtube channel
Pyrene extinguishers were full of a chemical medium to put fires out not just water. Lovely work.
not water
jos Touw No they were a chemical extinguisher, Carbon_tetrachloride . I was a fire fighter for many years.
Love your work. However on this piece I would have left the patina, dirt and all. I love old stuff, the wear, age, patina, dirt....all of it! Keep up the great videos!

because it''s French ^^
Lame joke! Your only the 10 person with that brilliant peice of comedy!🤪😒😟
Can you restore my faith in humanity?
watch a kittens video, it'll go better ;)
he dont do miracles
avo that ain’t possible. Sorry man
Can he restore my divorce?

I have a feeling im gonna need sunglasses when you are done polishing that thing xD
That's what she said.
The finished result looks great, but I actually dig how the tarnished metal looks. It’s such a beautiful artifact that it looks awesome regardless.
aargh...cosmetically it looks fine but you skipped out on the internal components and seals..water pouring out everywhere..🥴
yes i to
Don't think he could have taken it apart without damaging it too much, it's probably soldered together at both ends.
More of a clean-up than a restoration...

WTF? It can not be restored to full functionality. It is now a show piece saved from oblivion, a piece of history. Give it a rest.
Thanks you so much for not putting annoying music to the video.
I love how that old brass polishes to a new finish. It's good that's a fire extinguisher cause that restoration is on🔥🔥🔥!

is impossible to restore inside because is sealed

Man you must have such a nice collection

That's seriously impressive
Great restoration. Looks fine to me !
Lovely Extinguisher. Though I think using it on a fire will only make the fire angrier :)))))
Bon boulot .
Beautiful restoration
With such a fire extinguisher, the fire is not terrible :)
i like how you used nail polish to make it pop out more
A cosmetic, rather than a functional restoration. That being said, it looks wonderful now, and would look great hanging on the wall!
I think the fire extinguished by itself from the shame, when it saw firemen with that fire extinguisher :-D Nice job man, as always :-))
Damn. You polished the shit out of that. Best looking super soaker I've ever seen.
That was awesome- but because it was a fire extinguisher it felt like something needed to be painted red! XD
Nah, much better in its original form! Tacky idea!
For someone that is selftought, you have done a damn good job.
Small fire like a lit cigarette perhaps, but it's definitely the nicest water gun I've seen. Nice job, looks beautiful!
