Cuspidor
notes: label: Description
content: Metal cuspidor with a “CUSPIDORS / MADE BY / IRELAND & MATTHEWS / MFG’ CO. / DETROIT, MICH.” inscription. The Pottery and Glass Salesman noted (March 9, 1911) that the new Ireland & Matthews Sanitary Cuspidor “fills a long-felt want. There is not a nook or corner for germs to lurk in. The hard enameled steel inner receptacle makes this a very strong and durable cuspidor, one that will stand a great deal of abuse.”
