Original ‘Double Ball’ glass Seltzer Water or Soda Siphon from Paris. The Siphon, has an engraved Pewter top or neck with handle & was made by the Lefevre company in 19th century Paris with the maker’s name & model name ‘Seltzogene’ engraved on one side of the Pewter neck .The origin of the protective wire jacket was in case the siphon exploded from being shaken too much - an unlikely event but a precaution from being available on every bar counter in late 19th century Paris. The heavy hand-blown glass siphon with its decorative wire mesh jacket is in perfect condition & still usable. Made in France circa 1890-1910 Measures 16 inches tall (41 cms) in excellent condition & stull usable. (I also have a second larger example of this siphon but 17.5 (45 cms) inches tall,- Please ask to see photos- same price as the one shown here) Original 19Th Century Seltzogene’
