Description from L.A. Brown's 1959 catalog: "The two items in Figure 89 do not necessarily belong together except that they are obviously made of the same kind of brass and have the same general appearance. Frequently the "qualities" of the brass help in assembling the scattered parts of an instrument. These brass "vases" ("urns") are alike in shape, have open bottoms, one (to the right) has an electric contact shaped like a spout at the side, while the other has an insulated contact at the top. As is true of much of the brass in the collection, these instruments, in some past time, have been coated with a heavy layer of shellac."Collection
