This rare treasure is an Amber Ether Chloroform Bottle with famous Bird Spout design top dropper. The amber glass is molded together in two, 2, sections with tiny interior bubbles (prevalent in early to late 1800s). The top Bird Stopper can be rotated to alignment and pour droplets of Ether onto patient mask for anesthesia. A rag or mask would be placed on patient’s nose and mouth and this Ether Bottle would be used to drop small quantities of Ether or Chloroform until patient was asleep / under to start operation. On bottom it is stamped “60” we believe to be 60 ml.. On side is “TK” which may be manufactures name. Flask Size is 5” high x 1.50” bottom diameter. This is in perfect condition with NO breaks or cracks. These bottles are seldom found and will highlight any collection of 100+ year old medical items.
