Breast Pump in Pewter by Weedon

 
A most unusual breast pump whose cups are made from Pewter (which I have never seen before). Inscribed on the brass syringe "Weedon - maker - 41 Hart Street  Bloomsbury Square London". Weedon traded at this address from 1830 to 1856. The syringe attaches by screwing onto the suction cups. The set is complete in the original red velvet lined mahogany box and the cups retain their original worn leather seals.
