I have a piece of equipment with no manufacturer markings. The local magic intelligensia don't know who made it(they are senior and knowledgable). How can I find out what I have? It appears to be very well made, probably not homemade. Is there a website that IDs old equipment?

Maybe posting a picture would be helpful to "see" what you are talking about.

If no one here can ID your piece, then send a photo to Terry Harris. http://www.oldmagicprops.com/homePg.htm

I can tell from your detailed description that it is most likely a Fotherington Vanishing Nebulizer. These were made in England between the two Great Wars, but are not in very much demand.

Almost right, Richard. The "Frothington Vanishing Nebulizer" originated in Austria.
