Le Chimiste - Working tool Vintage - 1935

Ancient automotive fire extinguisher “La Chimiste” – Paris

Vintage automobile extinguisher bearing the inscription “Extincteur Auto” and the brand “La Chimiste.” This specimen features a metallic cylindrical body with a silvery finish, an embossed marking in an oval cartouche, and a manual push-button control system located on the top.

Designed for use aboard cars, this device was intended to allow the driver to intervene quickly in the event of a fire, particularly in the engine compartment. Its operation relied on a manual mechanism that pressurized the extinguishing product so it could be projected onto the flames.

The marking “Bté S.G.D.G.” (Breveté Sans Garantie du Gouvernement) attests to the existence of a protective technical design filed for the model. The Paris designation indicates French manufacture or distribution.

With its compact format, industrial aesthetics, and original embossed markings, this extinguisher is a fine collectible for enthusiasts of vintage automobiles, automotive accessories, and vintage industrial objects.

Sold as is, as a collectible and decorative piece. Functionality not guaranteed.
You will also find an advertisement from issue no. 30 of the magazine “Au volant” dating from February 1935.
