Been asking for a similar US item for the past several years. The answer always comes back that the handle is too thin to print digitally??????

Yeah - I'm impressed these got through printing. Not sure they'd survive the Shapeways killjoys! Very nice looking extinguishers...

Eric - I am looking for WWII era brass Pyrene Fire Extinguishers - every US vehicle had at lease one and I was hoping Shapeways could print them in brass/gold to solve two problems at the same time.
