DescriptionThis object is a cylindrical vacuum tube attachment with a thick, pear-shaped handle and a curved suction tube. The handle has several vertical serrations on all sides and two indentations on opposite sides near the joint of the handle and the suction tube. The suction tube itself is slightly curved and has a bell-shaped tip. A shorter, bell-tipped tube emerges from the bottom of the handle to connect the device to a vacuum pump. The object is in relatively good condition with minor amounts of rust and corrosion visible around the tip of the suction tube.On View
