Vintage Porcelain Medical Inhaler With Lid; England

Description

Very cool medical display item. It is a porcelain inhaler for those with colds, flu, asthma, or respiratory deficiencies. Measures
5 3/8 inches high to rim of bottle. Original cork with plastic tip adds another 3 1/2 inches in height; just under 9 inches tall all together. Base is approximately 4 inches wide at widest bulb section. Front has cool original graphics/lettering. Says in part, “MERITOR IMPROVED INHALER, For Hot Water, Infusions. ETC.”; then, it list use directions in the middle. At the bottom is the manufacturer name “Maw Of London”. There is no missing lettering anywhere on graphics very complete. Bottle has barely visible light crazing as normal with old porcelain. But, overall condition is excellent with no chipping, cracks, no visible damage. Spout comes out about
2 inches. Cork measures 3 1/4 inches across bottom. Plastic breathing tube is 3 1/2 inches high three-quarter inches wide with no cracks or breaks. Weighs about 10 ounces. Hard to estimate age so I am just gassed in 1930's to 1950's. But, you’ll be the judge. See all photographs as no returns. Excellent condition and great medical display item.
