My grandfather used to turn them into lamps. About 20 years ago we threw all of them away.

I've bought a few different styles of old extinguishers over the years and every time, after about two days, I ask myself "what the hell did you buy that for?" Then I drag it to the next swapmeet and hopefully break even.
