I contacted the local VFW and they took them and made sure they were
disarmed. Also had an artillery shell that they also checked over and
two WWI machine guns that they decommissioned and made safe and lega
l to own in our collection at the Reedsburg Area Historical Society.

Subject: Safe storage of fire grenades Hi all, Do any of you have fi
re grenades in your collections? How do you ensure the safety of your visit
ors and staff, especially if you do not know if the contents inside is just
salt water or oxygen-sucking carbon tetrachloride? We have two on display
in a not-so-safe location in a non-winterized building (do they even freeze
?). I would like to keep them in the collection, but I'm considering deacce
ssioning them if I cannot find a safe solution. Please advise! Thanks,
