Description: Nice condition milk glass kerosene lamp Vapo-Cresolene Vaporizer complete in the original box, and a partially filled bottle of Cresolene circa 1880. The Vaporizer includes 6 1/4 inch tall brass framework stand with a tin pan on top and a mini glass KEROSENE lamp below it, all held in place within the brass frame work. The miniature glass kerosene lamp still has a wick in place, and still has the white milk glass lamp chimney in place. The white chimneys were the first thing that broke so it is hard to find one complete. 1874 patent date on textured bottle. It could use a good cleaning, is fragrant, so I leave that up to the new owner. It will look awesome once the Cresolene is removed. Both boxes have rubs and paper loss. The smaller is missing the top flap. Some tape on lid. Vapo Cresolene was the forerunner of Vicks Vapo Rub, and was a coarse tar-like germ destroying liquid that was put onto the tray, heated with the lamp, and the fumes were then ingested to produce a cure for such ailments as whopping cough, croup, asthma, catarrh, bronchitis, hay fever, broncho pneumonia, bronchial complications of scarlet fever and measles and an aid in the treatment of diptheria. Also for the respiratory diseases of animals, as distemper and pneumonia in horses and dogs and roup in fowl.(see box for more detail). Glass lamp embossed : " VAPO - CRESOLENE / USE KEROSENE Nice museum quality patent medicine cure, for human and veterinary use. See photos for good detail as they are part of the description.
