Description
An Esmarche anesthesia dripping bottle.Friedrich von Esmarch (1823-1908) introduced his dripping bottle in 1877 and it remained in use through WW1 and even a bit later. Esmarch dripping bottles, when they turn up today, have often lost their chain and stopper, both of which are present here. The bottle shows no evidence of use and is free of cracks, chips, etc. This is the first Esmarch bottle we have encountered that was made in the USA. In fact, it the first Esmarch bottle we’ve seen where the maker is indicated in the molding: “JS MANUFACTURING COMPANY, BROOKLYN, NY”. We have not been able to locate any information about this company.
