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’.

Still retains its original label showing the price and ‘taxe d’armement comprise’ (armament tax included).
This inscription serves as a chronological marker: the rearmament tax was introduced in France by the decree-law of 21 April 1939 to finance the nation’s rearmament. These caps were therefore sold between May 1939 and sometime in 1940.
It comes from the former cellar-laboratory of a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles and other items had not been moved from the shelves since the late 1950s. The cellar had served as a medical analysis laboratory and a laboratory for the pharmacy’s compounded preparations from 1900 until around 1950.
