im puzzled up
« on: October 04, 2011, 17:42:36 »
so the thing is that lately i wanted to buy an item  ( no 13252 Firemen Van Antex )
wish to thank all who helped and directed me to the item.

now the thing that puzzle me is that in this item i came cross by two items i never seen. (below the first pic)
at first i thought they are megaphones
but than i found in the same item box the normal mega phone(second photo below)

so could any body tell me what this is hehe ?

It's an old fashioned style fire extinguisher

There's a thread somewhere about it..

what? no. it's not an extinguisher.

it's a megaphone. an analogue one (no electronics)  :hmm:

It is most certainly a fire extinguisher

See my photo that I took (middle row)



The old fashioned megaphone is this one: 30 06 6210 - Megaphone, cone-shaped

Yeah its a fire extinguisher, I recall the old klicky instructions pictured it being placed in points on vehicles where only a fire extinguisher could be placed.

You're thinking of the megaphone which appeared in this set amongst others:
