Lippincott Syrup Dispenser
Vintage LIPPINCOTT Soda Fountain Syrup Dispenser . This is a very early, heavy ceramic and/or pottery vessel that would hold the syrup. It would have been at the counter where you sat at the Soda Shoppe, filled with your favorite ice cream topping. This one is missing the pump, which would have fit into the hole on top and extended above the container. They were usually of chrome and some had fancy handles on top that you pushed down on and syrup would dispense out there spouts. Really cool item. I could not locate any Lippincott pumps, so I am not sure they made them. Anyway, the style and shape of the item, and the name lettering really dates this to around the turn of the 19th century. It is 12" tall x 4" wide and 7" front to back at the top. The hole that the pump would go into is 3 1/4" in diameter. I've seen many of the pumps in antique shops and most of them would probably fit this item. Manufactured by A.H. & F.H. Lippincott Inc., Philadelphia. Interesting for your collection.
