edekalil Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 When is the last time you saw one of these. I remember running around the house spraying flys with what was probably DDT back when I was a kid. 6 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 The ones I remember were all brass. Some had glass reservoirs. We used to spray each other in the face with them up in the loft.. 4 Quote Link to comment
knoriega Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 It probably was not fun spraying each other in the face unless it had some kind of bug spray, right. I remember the glass bottle ones 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I think it was called kerosene.... There were fire extinguishers too. Big long brass cans you had to turn upside down to make them work. I later found out they had a weak acid solution and baking soda inside that mixes and foams when tipped over and pushes out the hose. Good times!!! 3 Quote Link to comment

G-Duax Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 My grandfather always had these on the farm, glass bulb fire extinguishers. They were filled with 111 trichloroethylene....... Which is toxic, and when combined with aluminum, creates a very powerful explosive. But as long as you were not trying to put out an aluminum fire, worked pretty well. 1 Quote Link to comment

racerx Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Eating spam right now. Musubi for the win....that's what I'm saying. Love the food in Hawaii, mixture of Japanese, American, Korean, Portuguese, Chinese and Filipino, you get a blend of heaven. I remember awhile back when we went to Hawaii, McDonald's serving spam and eggs. Quote Link to comment
john510 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I remember my grandfather walking around his yard spraying bugs with one of those. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I was going to suggest putting it on ebay, but there are plenty of them on there now in better shape for $20.00, so waste of time in my opinion, but if you make a living on ebay, I suppose every dollar counts. Quote Link to comment

racerx Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 SOS, its what we called it in the military. Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 SOS, its what we called it in the military. Yah, but in the military SOS as a meal didn't stand for "Shit on a shingle", it stood for "save our souls". ;) Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Getting back to the original postings, "Quick Henry, the FLIT! Anyone else who remembers that ad? Quote Link to comment

paradime Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 NO! Joke! The meaning of the universal Morse code*distress signal* SOS is "Save Our Souls", therefore the military is making a dysphemism using the acronym SOS. A variation on the literal meaning used by WWII vets, "Save Our Stomachs". Personally I LOVE the stuff if it's not from a can. Quote Link to comment
