These have been mentioned previously here http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,1322.0.html but can anyone tell me who made this one, and how to tell if it is a reproduction or not.
TIA

How bizarre!  I've never heard of fire grenades before, and came across another one today (pictured with the first one).  This one is much larger and has impressed letters EF-VCP.  They were a bit difficult to photograph, but as can be seen on the label, the top of the letter V extends across the letters CP.  Does anyone know who or what these letters represent please?
TIA

Fire grenades are normally made from very light (often embossed) glass, filled with water and sealed. The one in the second picture with the long neck that looks like a bottle - is most probably a Chianti bottle which lost its basket. Check the contents - if it is 1/4 L or 1/2 L it's a bottle. The other item does not look like a grenade to me - but it conceivably might be....
