  <dc:title>Sparklet Apparatus</dc:title>
  <dc:description>This metal cylindrical is an apparatus labelled “SPARKLET HOLDERS J SIZE,” with a detachable screwed stopcock.  The hollow cylindrical body was used to house a carbon dioxide cylinder.  The stopcock features a handle, engraved with “SCREW DOWN LIGHTLY,” a twistable bolt, and a spout.  The spout bears the engraving “Made in England” and is connected to an India rubber tube with an ebonite connector, ending with a catheter.  The metal cylinder presents some corrosion and the India rubber is damaged.  The apparatus worked by screwing down the handle, which punctured the gas cylinder and released gas at a controlled rate.</dc:description>
