Description
Please read our Auction Policy below before bidding. This is a great Antique Watchcase Atomizer marked American Hard Rubber Co. New York Patented Aug. 1 1899 measuring approx. 3 1/8" wide x 2 1/4" . It was as we understand it used for sniffing liquid medicine but it has stem attatched to the lid that makes it seem possible that it was used for perfume but I could find no documented information as to it's actual use. It is made from a hard rubber also known as India Rubber or Gutta Percha Percha which was probably the earliest form of plastic invented , even earlier than celluloid as I understand it. We have other Gutta Percha items marked Goodyears Patented 1851 . Same type of material, same type of smell. The condition is very nice with some wear which is very typica . The lid unscrews and there is the stem which appears to have the tip missing, a dabber? . A nice 19th century piece. Shipping in USA will be $7.50, insurance extra if desired.Thank you and HAPPY BIDDING!!! Powered by eBay Turbo ListerThe free listing tool. List your items fast and easy and manage your active items.
