In the process of excavating three mid-to-late nineteenth century privies
last summer, we found some douche nozzles that are made from whitemetal of
some sort; lead-based alloy. Can anyone offer any published references to
such items, or to the historical development of this particular category of
hygiene-related material culture? Any help will be gratefully accepted.
