Vintage Nelson’s Inhaler with Unusual Glass Funnel Attachment

Vintage Nelson’s Inhaler with Unusual Glass Funnel Attachment

An intriguing vintage Nelson’s inhaler, featuring an uncommon addition — a glass funnel fitted to the top, giving this classic medical piece an unusual and distinctive look.

Traditionally used for steam inhalation, Nelson’s inhalers were a staple of home medicine cabinets throughout the early to mid-20th century. This example is made from ceramic with clear printed markings, and the glass funnel sits neatly in cork above the mouthpiece, adding both visual interest and rarity.

A fascinating collectible for those who appreciate antique medical curiosities, apothecary displays, or vintage ceramics.

Details:
• Maker: Unmarked
• Material: Ceramic with glass funnel attachment
• Era: Early–mid 20th century
• Condition: Good vintage condition with light age-related wear

A characterful and unusual piece of vintage medical history — perfect for display in a rustic interior or alongside other apothecary finds.
