I have several empty ones. I had a full one but sold it last year. They had a chemical that is now illegal to use. The only place it is used now is computer centers where they have to keep any corrosive or dusty chemicals out. That was Halon. It really does not look much different from any other extinguisher from that era. I will dredge up some pics of mine.

I have not been able to get around to finding those pics, I will get there. I had a really nice one, still full of Halon that I sold last year.
