Sheesh. It's clearly a nose flute.


We don't have silverworm in the U.S. If it was UK made it would be hallmarked. Could be electro-lice though.
--------------------

So, anyway, is there felt or something like that inside? For perfume?

Re: Sterling silver "tube" with holes

Yes, I think something is inside, something soft?
I inserted a small needle inside and feel like a felth, sponge
kind of material-hmmmm maybe this was a perfume
"bottle" if it was how old you think this is it??
Thanks for your help!!!!

Re: Sterling silver "tube" with holes

I don't know much more than that they exist.

No marks on it at all? Is the chain original... can it be taken off?

Chain is original and can't be taken off from the body.
There are some marks on the chain clasp and the chain small plate.
Both are STERLING with a double triangle mark, chain is about 6-7 inches long.
I did not see any marks on the main body of the tube - and I don't want to clean it to find out - maybe there is something under tarnish ??
Here is a """picture""" - of the mark.

Hi, I'm new here and still kind of poking around getting the feel for things...But I think I may know what this is. To me it looks like a personal diffuser necklace. They are used usually with essential oils or perfumes for either pretty smells or ones with medicinal properties. But I am not seeing how it would open to add the scents.

Re: Sterling silver "tube" with holes

Maybe it didn't need to be opened to put something in. How about just dunking it into the liquid and let 'er soak awhile.......NGE

Re: Sterling silver "tube" with holes

That could be how it was "filled". Then I'm going to say it was for single scents and most likely camphor. I'm totally guessing though.
Does the chain move through the hole?

Not necessarily. If used with oil of eucalyptus, then useful for those with breathing problems like hayfever or perpetual runny noses.

Oil of eucalyptus still sprayed inside of sweat lodges and saunas; also an ingredient for both Metholatum and Vick's Vapor Rub. Helps open the nasal passages and makes it easier to breathe. Smart idea, really.

Where was it found?

Back in the day, people didnt bath as often.

Re: Sterling silver "tube" with holes

I think that diffuser necklace is probably right. It is strange that there isn't a door to open it though. Here is an example of one in a different shape but it is hollow and has the aroma holes.

Re: Sterling silver "tube" with holes

It was called a Tussy Mussy, and it looks to be Victorian, although it could be newer, and it's hard to tell without seeing it in person. A modern Tussy Mussy is basically a bouquet of flowers used by brides. As stated above, during Victorian times people didn't bath but once a year, and generally the end of May was the alloted time. The term 'June Bride' came from the fact that most weddings where held in June because that was the closest to bath time. The reason the bride carried a bouquet of flowers was to help diffuse the body odor.

Nice find, Breezie
