Documents in our library describe Smotherine (Henry Gray) as “fire extinguishing device consisting of a non-combustible material with an asbestos base with a handle attached thereto suitable for application of the device by hand, and a hanger also attached for hanging in an appropriate location for best availability in case of a small fire”.1 They give it as sold from 1949.1
You don't need the product names or old records. No fee unless we recover compensation for your family.
