A rare vintage enema/douche syringe pump, engraved with the name J.P. Monkhouse.
Crafted from nickel-plated brass, this piece dates to the early–mid 20th century (c.1920s–40s).
Its finger-ring design and piston-style plunger make it a fascinating example of historical medical equipment.
Originally intended for hygienic/medical use, today it is valued as a collector’s piece, ideal for medical history enthusiasts, antique syringe collectors or as a striking conversation item in a cabinet of curiosities.
Details: • Engraved: J.P. Monkhouse (likely the mark of a practicing British surgeon of the period) • Material: Nickel-plated brass • Dimensions: [insert your own measurements] • Condition: Excellent vintage condition with light signs of use; plunger mechanism intact • Era: c.1920s–40s • Origin: United Kingdom
Historical Note: J.P. Monkhouse, M.B., B.S., F.R.C.S., is recorded in the British Medical Journal as a senior aural (ENT) surgeon. The engraving is very likely a surgeon’s mark rather than a manufacturer’s stamp, making this piece a tangible link to early 20th-century practice.
