The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts The Stovebolt Volunteer Fire Department Anyone need handheld fire bottles for your rig?

There's a local building materials recycling joint that has about 20 of the old soda-water bottles you turn over to charge, varying in condition from $20 to $60.
Most of em look to be in usable condidtion & have inspection tags dated from 1976. there's a couple presurized types as well, I didn't get a good look at those tho.

If anyone would like a set of these for your lil red wagon let me know and I can go see what they have, how much, and get some photos.

Sounds like a deal except they're too far away

Well yeah, a lil bit. However I'm no stranger to shipping things, these are small
enough I could send them USPS.

And I have photos!
This is a group of cans, a couple soda-acid and a pressurized can. There's this one chome can, the shorter olive drab can that looks like it came off a military vehicle, the rest are all brass.

Those are not all that expensive to ship. It is those darn old steel CO2 bottles that weigh a ton and cost an arm & a leg to ship. Those look nice but I already have a couple.

Thanks for the offer. Put those babies on ebay and they'll be gone in no time!

I've got to menember ta go over there, but I have some cash now so I'm thinkin I'll go grab a couple of the cheapies and bring em home. Might clean em up a bit, gimme somethin ta do when I'd sittin here doin nutt'n at 3am. Either way I'll see about gettin some to put on Epay, one for around the house coz I likes old simple stuff that's built like a tank, and maybe, just possibly, have a couple in storage just in case someone wants em.

Hi Freq2002, I'd be interested in the one with the sqeeze handle and gauge.

Hey Steven, sorry it took me a while to get back to ya, suffering internet burnout. :P
Just so happens I picked that one up last week along with 4 of the others. It needs to be drained, but the metal & pressure guage is in real good shape. Shoot me a PM with your contact info and we'll see what we can do.

Just FYI, I have one copper bottle ready to go, mostly cleaned up & polished, but with a fair amount of patina on the surface. I like it as is, but could be cleaned all the way up. I also have the stainless steel bottle ready to go as well. Has a few scuffs and the tag needs to be reglued on one corner, but is otherwise perfect. I even have the acid bottle, holder, and stopple.

I'm currently letting the remaining copper I have, and a brass/clearcoat finished one soak before I clean them up. Both of those also have acid bottle, cage, & stopple. The pressurized can is on hold until I can get it drained.

If anyone is interested in these I can take couple shots and send them to ya. Post here or PM. I may go get a couple more of the copper bottl after the 1st of the month.
