Description
This is an antique French garden/crop back pack sprayer by the company Eclair Vermorel.
Originally used pre WW1 for spraying fruit trees, flowers and crops; this was later repurposed during the war to neutralise trenches and dugouts which had been contaminated with chlorine gas
The sprayer is made mostly of copper with the pump lever made of iron and the shoulder straps of leather. This prop has a great aged patina with the turquoise copper oxidation and utilitarian straps.
