Antique Sickroom medical humidifier.
Dated April 19 1927, this old Vaporizer would be most familiar to Great Grand Mother.
More then just a medical curiosity, this was and still is one of the safest of non steroidal breathing aids.
Likely quite the life saver in Great depression times, many an asthmatic breathed easier with this device.
Rarely surviving intact, the glass reservoir is with out crack or chip, though a few decorative bubbles appear.
Original ceramic heater core, screw top lid and handled base as well as original electric cord with taped Bakelite receptacle.
Light rust, though all is solid and heavy.
A rarely seen tool.
