1964 FIRE EXTINGUISHER – $40
HAVE A 1964 DUPLICOLOR AEROSAL FIRE EXTINGUISHER. STILL FULL NEVER TRIED TO USE IT. 40.00 CALL JASON @ xxx-xxxx
As long as we’re defrosting a turkey from the 70s, Lyle thought we might as well have a fire extinguisher from the 60s around just in case our Kelvinator stove catches on fire.
Thanks, Lyle!

Duplicolor?
RED cap?
The word “FIRE” the only discernible verbiage left on the label?
And extinguisher is the sparkologic conclusion?
Of course it is.
In case of fire, do not accept assistance from Jason.
At least Jason didn’t think it was fire IN a can.
Fire not on … oh, wait.
Somebody save the PUDDING!!!!
Won’t somebody think of the PUDDING!
I’m thinking of pudding right now, it’s butterscotch and chocolate swirl.
Mmmmm …
Let’s try some of this aerosol topping on the pudding!
“Duplicolor” being a brandname of a middling-popular spray-paint line, and product dating from the 60’s; the VOC content will probably extinguish arousal effectively.
What? Say that again? Oh.
Never mind.
Aha! Another clue to the Kennedy assassination conspiracy!
Who else would want this? Collectors of discontinued paint cans?
Jason McSparky is hoping to appeal to the very small gourmet-paint-huffer market.
[corey]Asked Unc’ Goggle.
Dupli-Color is an on-going concern, and making money in the auto paint business.
The webpage is glossy, but is a little over-reliant on graphics for navigation.
A bit more looking discovers that they have a color line referred to as “Fire Extinguisher Red”–which would not recommended for reducing conflagration.
All of which annoys on the morning that the news reveals that San Fransisco’s Pier 27/29 caught fire yesterday.
[/corey]
Jason thinks he’s getting $40 for an old can of paint whose contents have separated and no expellant!
That’s the best laugh all day!
Before the federal government started regulating these things, a lot of experimentation was going on at the consumer’s expense. Unable to produce a reliable fire extinguisher in a spray can, Duplicolor put out this product, which was designed to mask the effects of fire. It worked surprisingly well* on objects that used to be red.
*This may not actually be true.
Where was this in 1964 when I got married (the first time)? Come on baby, douse my fire.
Well, it looked like everything was going to be OK until the vintage fire extinguisher caught fire…
Directions for Use: Throw fire extinguisher can directly into the fire. Close eyes. Count down 30 seconds. It’s a miracle!
Goodness, gracious, great cans of fire
Who needs fireworks for the 4th when you have a can of Duplicolor? And it’s red.
Ooooh, pretty.
I’m cleaning out my shed
I find a red topped can
What can I do with it?
I develop a plan
I’ll put it Craigslist
An ad all will admire
I’ll list it as…
An extinguisher…
For fire!
I wonder if it would work on my fire from 1972.
We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning since the world’s been turning
(or 1972, whichever came first)
We didn’t start the fire
No we didn’t light it but we tried to paint it red
It’s sad when I’m surprised that the price in the description matches the price in the ad’s title.
Even if it were a fire extinguisher… do expiration dates not apply to Jason?
I’m guessing Jason would have his own expiration date if he ever tried to use this.
“Call Jason”?
Wait, I’m not up on canon in Horror, but, isn’t Jason Vorhees mute?
Making the exercise of calling Jason about as calling Kemil Attaurk’s pet turtle, Abduhl.
Although, after spraying 60s-era high-VOC paint on a fire, I might welcome mayhem in a hockey mask.
Aerosols: always well known for their fire extinguishing capabilities.
For a while, you could actually buy aerosol fire extinguisher that looked a bit like this. It didn’t work very well, though.

LoL – someone got to it before me. I was wondering if anyone else on here had read that article and knew some idiots actually DID try to make aerosol extinguishers…….. seriously…….
Mudsy, I am happy to see that while you were in the box, no fires started and no marshmallows were injured. Good job. Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Campfire Grrls!
