I just found something unusual and cannot find any information online anywhere about it.  Can anyone identify it?  On the round rubber part it says "Extra bulbs for liquid poison  20 Lenox MFG Co.", "Pittsfield, Mass., USA"

Thanks in advance

Insecticide sprayer, it is supoposed to spray out of a little hole in the bulb when squeezed, it's probably clogged....

I have one of those somewhere that has the patent date on it.  It is listed in the patent papers as an atomizer.  The rubber ball should have a large hole with a stopper on the side you press and a bunch of small holes on the other side.  It could also be used for medicines, misting stuff, etc.  I

When I find mine with the patent date, I will repost to this topic with that information.  I will also post a heads up when I list it on Ebay.
