Enema Syringe with Bone Nozzle

An antique Victorian c.1900, brass enema syringe with a bone nozzle.

This piece of historical medical equipment is a real eye catcher for your curiosity collection. The body of the syringe is made from brass with a metal rod and a bone nozzle. Surprisingly, after all this time, the pieces fit together beautifully, and it all comes apart with no difficulty at all.

The piece measures approx. 24cm when fully extended. There is no maker’s mark. The syringe is in very good condition with an aged patina to the shiny brass. The bone nozzle has a crack, as photographed, but this does not seem to affect the working of the piece.

A very collectable medical piece and unusual having the bone nozzle.
