Hi -
This is one of those "has anyone seen one of these?" postings. We have a
large clear glass plunger/syringe from a mid-19th/early-29th century urban
site in Binghamton, NY. It's composed of two pieces, an outer tube
measuring approx 14 cm (5.5 in) long and 2.8 cm (1 1/8 in) diameter. The
inside plunger piece is approximately the same length, with glass disks
attached at each end to fit the outside tube part. Anyone familiar with
this? If this description's not doing it, I can post a photo up
somewhere.
