What's for sale?
This is a a mid 20th Century, French glass soda siphon in a rarer pink coloured glass. We think this is one of the nicest colours, the base in particular looks strong. It has a thick glass body, twisted slightly when manufactured to create a really nice effect.
Etched in the centre, in large text, are the words:
"G. Gaulin, À Auxon".
The metal top is also engraved:
"DEBOUY, AUXON"
"Vve E Thessier. PARIS Garanti sans Plomb"
Gaulin is presumably the cafe or restaurant in Auxon, which is in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of eastern France.
The Vve signifies a widow with the late husband's name and most likely refers to the supplier.
