Small patent soda syphon in wicker basket, unusual cap has written on it: By Royal Letters Patent / No 5. Aerated Water Soda Syphon Applied top. Clear. 13 oz. 222 mm without spout. 1920s
Excellent. Some grime on the glass surface. Tiny and shallow impact flake under base. Some rusting, stains and discolouration to metal components. A very odd bottle. The wing nut at the top screw out with an attached rod that goes less than half way into the bottle. The bulbous section screws off separately. Maybe the bulb was some sort of mixing chamber? Interesting piece. Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $30 - 40
