57 bcr Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I like the name on it, just not the price............. Just goes to show that anything with a Great American Icon's name on it,can increase it's value! Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

j hancock Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Sold some years ago. Wish I had some to sell at THAT price! It will be interesting to see what happens.

yarnall Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 I hope it doesn't sell because I don't want them to cost that much. I bought one for $350 at the Spring Melt in Allentown about 3 years ago.

j hancock Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I don't think it will sell at that price.A Mack Fomon ext. is more rare and last time I knew the Fomon weren't that high. Haven't done anything with fire gear for a day or two now.... Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

fxfymn Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 The last two I saw go at auction went for $1200.00 each. Mike; you got a deal!I am looking for two for the AB if anyone knows of an early Mack apparatus extinguisher out there.

Bobby Covert Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Even if I can't afford it , It is nice to know of its existence. Never know when you might "run up" on one.

MADDOG93 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I paid $75.00 for mine but it did not have a top last year and I can't find one that fit's.

joemac Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 For that kind of loot, you'd think they could have at least cleaned it up a little.My uncle had one of these sitting in his basement, years ago.Well, make that decades...

Road Trip Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Identical to the 3 that I have sitting in my house. I quess that they are worth something afterall. Had a fire extinguisher collector offer me $350.00 about 16 months ago but never sold to him.

yarnall Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 They certainly are worth something, but not $1275 a piece because it did not sell. I paid $350 a piece for two. I paid $1000 for one, but it is a Mack/Childs soda acid extinquisher off a 1925 AC pumper. Some people said I was spending too much on it. I hope the two that fxfymn saw sell for $1200 were older or in way better condition.

Loadstar Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 The eBay extinguisher didn't sell.....got relisted a the same price.....and then the seller ended the auction early.....thought somebody must have bought it off of eBay but just checked again and it's relisted....looks to be in nice shape Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34277-mack-extinquisher-on-ebay/#findComment-228623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
