Description from the seller
Antique Pyrene Brass Fire Extinguisher – Phillips & Pain Establishments
Beautiful antique Pyrene-brand fire extinguisher, made of brass with a lovely golden patina that reflects its age. It has a ribbed cylindrical body, a T-shaped top handle, and an original label bearing French inscriptions and operating instructions.
The Pyrene brand specialized in manufacturing fire extinguishers and firefighting equipment. This example bears the name of the Phillips & Pain establishments, located at 31 rue de la Vanne in Montrouge (Seine), identified on the device as its manufacturer and distributor.
This fire extinguisher operated using a manual pressure system: it was designed to spray extinguishing liquid at the base of the flames. The handle was used to operate the pressurizing mechanism and trigger the release of the product. The label specifically mentions the use of Pyrene liquid, described as non-combustible and non-conductive.
A beautiful antique advertising and industrial object, particularly decorative, which would be a welcome addition to a collection devoted to safety items, firefighting equipment, or the vintage industrial world.
Please note: this antique item is sold as a collectible and decorative piece, with no guarantee that it is operational.
