TitleNasal Spray
Date1900-1949
DescriptionThis is a nasal spray, featuring a clear glass bottle and a metal attachment with a curved metal tube and a red India rubber pump at its end.

The clear glass bottle has a brass screw-top attachment, which connects to the spraying mechanism. This screws into the bottle and functions externally with the tube-pump system, while internally, a thin, curved, metal pipe extends downward to draw liquid from the bottle.

The nozzle, which is missing, could also be screwed into this attachment. Signs of wear and tear are visible, along with discolouration of the metal components, and stiffness of the rubber.
