Advert Description
Please feel free to make an offer.
An Unusual Antique nickel plated brass three fold cachet machine. It might be Morstadt apparatus?
In victorian times powder was a simple way to take medicine. This machine was used to dispense powder into a cachet. Water was then applied to the two halves of rice paper, to bring them together ready to be taken by the patient. Dipped in water to soften, placed on the tongue & swallowed with water.
Great for the Enthusiast or Collector.
I haven't noticed any stamps or makers marks other than "11".
In expected used condition, for an item of this age & nature. There is a scratch on the underside. It would benefit from a clean & polish.
Approx 8" x 5 1/2".
It's very heavy in weight, as it's solid brass.
Please study the images, as they also form part of the description & please do your own research.
Can post at extra cost. Postage includes being signed for.
