I've got a similar one, called a RED COMET, I'd have to carefully dig it out, it's clear glass, red liquid inside, does make for a neat ornament, an artifact I found in our old victorian farmhouse. I'm not sure how common they are, it was in a box with shredded news paper, when I found it, I safely re-packed it years ago and put it in a drawer in my garage for future reference, it's got some similar hardware like you describe, on the one end, I'd have to dig it out and take a photo, I hate handling it, reminds me of a grenade, as there is spring loaded device on it and I have no clue what chemical is inside, that is a nasy chemical CT isn't it ? Same thing used in dry cleaning, no idea, not a chemist, but it sounds like just like the chemical the armenian dry cleaner down the road hates hearing brought up, we used to really get him going sometimes LOL !

NC Wayne is right on with that reminder, I had to torch off a few parts in a junkyard last fall and there was a giant oaktree with limbs over the truck, those leaves are hard, dry and take a lot to soak, I had to clear the entire area and still had some on fire I did not see, nice enough to let me take my own parts off, used my cutting rig and I could have started a nasty fire if I was not careful.

Belly pans with oil soaked dirt, break a hyd hose on a hot engine and all the rest that happens similar, excellent reminder, may save the day just having an extinguisher that works, I have to remind my customers to do it, one has a 100 x 100 shop, and I put new ones in there over 1 year ago, really is a good reminder, best remind this customer to get em serviced.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Deere Departed Friend - by Dave Gohl. Have you ever had to part with a dear friend? It's not easy. If it's due to death, your feelings could be in disarray for days, months or even years. Even now after almost 4 years, I still miss my dad. I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i ... [Read Article]
