Rare Hand Blown Glass Parts, Red Comet Automatic Fire Extinguisher Wall Bracket
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:43906889 |
The complete Red Comet Automatic system was made to be place above a stove, or other appliance that was a fire hazard. When a fire a fire broke out the coiled spring thermostat near the glass grenade would put out and burst the glass grenade.
THERE IS NO CHEMICAL OR LIQUID WITH THESE ITEMS.
I have one wall mount holder and a bunch of the little clips that kept t...he spring back.
The really interesting things are the 18 glass receptacles. I can see they are hand blown, I can see the pontil point and no two are alike. I don't really know how these little glasses were removed from the grenades.
The glasses pieces are really clear and each one is a little work of art. Some have rough edges along the top rim, little chips here and there in the glass. I don't think there could be many like them, once the glass grenade was broken or disposed this little cup parts would be gone.
I've seen the complete grenades, but I've never seen examples that could be taken apart.
Please see all photos for details.
