Box of rubber washers for hot water bottles
In its original cardboard box
A cylindrical cardboard box containing its original set of rubber washers. These seals were essential for replacing worn parts in hot water bottle stoppers (made of metal or stoneware), ensuring the safety of heat therapy administered to patients at home.
The lid bears the handwritten inscription in period ink: ‘Rondelles pour Bouchons de Bouillottes’.
