A medical / surgical relic from a time when chloroform was administered by hand utilizing a specially designed dripper bottle and a cloth over the nose and mouth. (In a search of our personal collection / museum site at MaineLegacy.com you will find an account of how Gettysburg Artillerist, Col. Freeman McGilvery was killed by an overdose of chloroform during simple surgery for a wound of the thumb.) This little dripper stands approximately 4 3/8 inches including the stopper. Remaining in pleasing condition with no chips or cracks, this seldom seen dripper will make a nice addition to any quality medical / surgical grouping.
