A Keck Glass Nasal Douche with Original Box and Instructions American, late 19th century
Clear mould-blown glass nasal douche of characteristic elongated form, together with the original printed cardboard box labelled “Keck Nasal Douche” and accompanying instruction leaflets issued by Kress & Owen Company, Manufacturing Chemists, 361 & 363 Pearl Street, New York.
The printed directions reference use with Glyco-Thymoline, a proprietary antiseptic preparation widely marketed in the late 19th century, situating the piece within the period’s developing interest in domestic hygiene and therapeutic self-care.
