A fascinating piece of medical history, this authentic Victorian-era solid brass piston syringe features the highly collectible maker’s mark of S. Maw, Son & Thompson, London. Based on the company's historical name changes, this piece dates precisely between 1870 and 1901, making it a genuine 19th-century artifact.

The barrel displays a prominent, beautifully detailed circular brass trademark medallion featuring the intertwined "MST" monogram surrounded by the text "S. Maw, Son & Thompson, London - Trade Mark". Featuring classic heavy brass construction and a functional finger-ring plunger handle, this piece is perfect for collectors of antique medical instruments, pharmaceutical history, apothecary decor, or unique historical curiosities.

Condition: Excellent antique condition with a gorgeous, authentic aged patina. The brass shows minor surface wear and light tarnishing consistent with its age, which enhances its historical appeal. The markings on the central medallion remain exceptionally crisp and legible. Crucially, this item is fully operational; the piston mechanism is intact and the plunger slides easily back and forth, making it a wonderful mechanical display piece. Please review all photos closely as they form part of the description.

Approximate Dimensions: Closed Length: 22 cm (approx. 8.6 inches) Fully Extended Length: 30 cm (approx. 11.8 inches)
