This is not your plastic, lightweight syrup dispenser like you see available today if you can even find one like this. This is heavy duty glass with metal handle and top. This item weighs one pound, proving that it is an original item from back in the good Ole days. They do not make stuff like this anymore. Great for display, wonderful conversation piece, would be great in an antique kitchen display. Could be recommended for use if cleaned properly. Shipping is available for this item. Pick up and delivery is also available.
