$65
SHIPPING OFFERED
Offered for sale is this rare antique early 20th Century chemists measure, made in England for Australian retailer J W Small and most likely dating from 1900 to 1914. J W Small were an early Australian importer and retailer of cameras and photographic accessories, starting operation in the 19th Century (during the 1860’s). In 1910, they are recorded as operating from 270 Little Collins Street, Melbourne. And in 1911 it was reported that the firm had been in business for almost 50 years and was moving from its original location to new, larger premises in Pitt Street, Sydney.
The hand-blown design features etched details for J W Small (‘operating in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide’), with both fluid ounces and drachms. This would have been used for dispensing developing fluids.
An interesting piece for any camera, apothecary/pharmaceutical, scientific, measures, Australiana or advertising collector.
In excellent original condition – no chips or fritting.
Measures 11cm (h) x 5cm (diameter) approximately.
