Made in Czecho Slovakia Glass
13.3"H x 4"W 6 pounds
Sparklet Syphon (ca. 1930s)
This great vintage bottle has fantastic texture and style! It is a clear glass bottle with a wire mesh sleeve. There is a red horizontal stripe visible beneath the sleeve. The shinny chrome hardware has minor some usage wear, overall in excellent condition! A rare find.
Interesting History on this bottle...
This syphon, sold by Sparklets Corporation of New York, was primarily designed to produce carbonated water. The reinforced bottle was filled to the red line with water and a small bulb containing compressed carbon dioxide was connected to the inlet valve seen in the upper left corner of the photo (the cap for the inlet is attached to the syphon with a chain). The carbon dioxide was then released into the water. When needed, the now carbonated water was ejected through the nozzle (pointing towards the lower right).
The company also sold bulbs containing radon (radium sparklets) that, according to one of the company's advertisements, "provides a constant supply of radioactive water." Alas, the collection does not yet have one of these bulbs. Neither does it have a copy of the British Patent for the radium sparklets, Patent No. 203848.
