"Bomb Shovel" Drops Sand From Hollow Handle

Item

Incendiary bombs can be smothered quickly with a shovel that carries a load of sand in the handle. The sand is automatically expelled when the shovel is turned hollow side down over a blazing bomb. Then it is turned over and used as a scoop. The bomb shovel is made of galvanized sheet metal, weighs 19 pounds when loaded and can be carried easily to attic or roof. It is also useful around a garage for putting out oil or gasoline fires.
