1920's Restored Antique Copper Fire Extinguisher

By ZCHRYBCHNN, 3 February, 2014
Description

I recently found this item in my basement and spent some time restoring it. I have concluded it is from the 1920's and is made by "The Guardian." I am looking for an approximate value I might receive for it if I were to sell it. All help is greatly appreciated!

There was a big market for highly polished copper and brass extinguishers during the 1980's to 90's, but the market has been in decline for them since then. We see them now go at auction in the $60.00-$100.00 range.
