This is such an unusual find! It is a bell-shaped object with the United States flag and eagle. This ingenious military device was connected by a flexible hose to a water reserve to provide a basic but effective camp shower to officers under the orders of the US military.  The upper part consists of a perforated end to receive a pipe as well as a swinging iron handle for its attachment. The lower part: a perforated copper disc as a shower head. The body is in beige lacquered zinc, paint wear and various dents in the metal- crack on base of handle see photo. Please see all photos for condition. About 12" tall and about 7" wide at the base. 

The majority of the items in my shop are vintage or antique, e.g., have been used.Vintage and antique items by their very nature have some wear, imperfections, and signs of age/time. This is what gives them their character, charm, and collectability. Please examine the photos carefully for any flaws that I may have missed in my description. My photos are considered part of the item’s description. I define vintage as 20+ years old and vintage indicates age.  Also, please feel free to message for more photos and or details.
