General Notes

Note

This metal female urinal was made by Columbian Enamelware in the late 1880s-early 1900s. It was ergonomically designed to meet the specific needs of female patients. The shift to enamel began in the late 19th century. The design is still in use today, though modern versions are made of plastic.
