Siphoning Tube

Marquand and Company

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Siphoning Tube by Marquand and Company: The item is long and thin, made of shiny metal. It consists of two long, thin tubes side by side, with one end curving back on itself to form a U-shape. At the bottom, the tubes are joined by a cylindrical piece, from which a short, rounded protrusion extends. The protrusion has etched lines along its length. The background is light gray.
