Dumag Incendiary Bomb Extinguishing compound

[cdotger]

Hello All,

New to the forum.

We moved into a home 2 years ago that was build in 1923 and we cleaning out a bedroom on the 3rd floor and in a storage area we found (2) 12 lb tubes of this product. From some quick research (not much out there about it), They look to be from WW2 and was windering 2 things. 1. Are these items dangerous (We have 2 boys) and are they worth anything and/or collectible.

I do not want to just discard them in the trash if they are worth something and anyone is interested.

Very interested to know more about these and from reviewing the forums, this looks like the best place to start.

Thanks much,

-Carl

Hi Carl, welcome to the forum!

I don't believe this will contain any harmful material, most likely it will be silica based?

Certainly a good collectable Home Front item. I like the illustration of the German fire bomb on the label.

Value? Hard to say, as I have not seen one before? Maybe £20 -£25 each?

Cheers, Ade.
