Date1900-1949
DescriptionThis is a throat spray, featuring a clear glass bottle and a curved spray nozzle.
The glass bottle has a slightly curved ergonomic shape with a metal screw-top attachment, which connects to the spraying mechanism.
The curved spray nozzle consists of a curved metal tube, with a small valve, and a thin brass pipe extending downward to draw liquid from the bottle.
The nozzle can be screwed into the bottle, and it features an India rubber gasket to ensure an airtight seal. Signs of wear and tear are visible, along with discolouration of the metal appliances.
