Original U.S. WWII Scarce Engineers Standard 30-Cap Exploder Blasting Machine with Intact Strap by Fidelity Electric Company
-
Original Item. Only One Available. This is an incredibly scarce WWII Engineer blasting machine, referred to here as an exploder, in great original condition. The blasting machine retains its original data plate on the top, which reads:
U.S. ENGINEERS
STANDARD 30–CAP EXPLODER
TO OPERATE - PULL HANDLE UP FULL AND PUSH
DOWN WITH GREAT FORCE
MANUFACTURERS
FIDELITY ELECTRIC COMPANY
LANCASTER, PA. U.S.A.
The handle on this example is a bit stiff, and is very difficult to pull up and push down. This amazing example also retains its original leather carrying strap, which shows some crazing and cracking and should not be used to carry the machine, please carry it from the bottom. Both of the securing rivets on top are still retained. You could almost certainly unscrew the screws on the sides to inspect the interior, but we have not attempted this, as it is being sold as a display piece.
The box measures 8⅛ x 6½ x 11½” and is in fair condition with some heavy scuffing and dents on the sides, to be expected of one of this age.
A fantastic & scarce example, ready for further research and display.
