DR Leininger FORMALDEHYDE Generator BOXED Set COMPLETE - Nice Quack COLLECTIBLE - $25 - (Bethany, MO)
DR Leininger FORMALDEHYDE Generator BOXED Set COMPLETE - Nice Quack COLLECTIBLE Looks to be complete with the original lamp stand, burner assembly and cap, and removable formaldehyde reservoir. The wick looks unlit to me and no smell to the formaldehyde reservoir so I'm pretty sure its basically unused condition. Outer cardboard box shows wear and tear, top lid corners have been reinforced on the inside at some point. Lamp is marked DR. GEO. LEININGER'S FORMALDEHYDE GENERATOR - CHICAGO around the upper edge. All metal portions of generator look unused but do show some tarnish and surface corrosion but not really that bad. This is the smallest size of the Leininger formalin burners and was used to heat formalin pastils to release formaldehyde gas into the early day sick rooms. Made in Chicago. Solidified formaldehyde was placed in the top bowl to cleanse sickrooms of persons with Scarlet Fever, Diptheria, whooping Cough and almost anything else you can think of. This product was pretty short lived and is circa 1910. Please see all photos provided - a NEAT Quack COLLECTIBLE for sure !!! Height is about 5 inches, square box about 3-1/2 inches per side. Larger photos below: Please review all photos and read the description carefully and/or ask questions before bidding. Shipping cost is for US buyers only - other bidders please email for shipping cost as rates will be different. NOTE: Please wait for my invoice before paying so proper shipping costs can be determined !!!! Thanks for looking and good luck if you choose to bid !!!
