I found it when snorkeling for bottles in a river near my home. Any help on what this is would be great. Someone told me it might be some sort of cow milking apparatus but I think otherwise..

Hey Nick, Welcome to the forum. It is some sort of milking apparatus but most women get abrasive if you call them cow.[sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif]

It's a breast pump pump. The flared end is the business end and the other end had a rubber bulb on it. They were made from the very late 1800s until the early 1930s.

I had a bud who sold them as candy horns until I told him what they were. He went into shock.[sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif]

He was a pretty innocent guy. Had a way with the Bible but not the ladies. If I wold have told him it was still a candy horn I'd have had to call an ambulance.LoL It was tough enough on him anyway. He had been selling them for 10 bucks a pop at his consignment shop booth.LOL!!!!
