You may want to contact Koorsen Fire and Security in Indianapolis
(317-542-1800).  They have an extensive collection of fire
extinguishers, many of which are on display at their home office.  They
should be able to answer your questions or at least point you in the
right direction.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Antique Fire Extinguishers

We have come across 2 red comet Fire Extinguishers (one c. 1940 and one
c.
1920) while unpacking our collection and they are still filled with what
is most likely carbon tetrachloride.  Any advice on how other
institutions have handled disposal/display/storage/replication of these?


Thanks!
Heather
