green-foam Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 I would say it was made in 1969 in America by the Ascoa company, they are still in existence (or the subsidiary is) As thousands were made it has no monetary value, I would also suggest you do not use it due to its age.

AnthonyB Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 If you ask US based extinguisher preservationists you will get a value for this. It's in good condition and has a particular branding different to the more common ones for this model (sold under various different brands) so whilst not worth serious money could fetch a few dollars or more to the right person. If you use Facebook this group is full of expert knowledge from several counties (including the US) and will give you far more info: Antique Fire Extinguisher Collectors/Current Extinguisher users Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not super common with this name plate. Maybe $20-25 to the right person." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
