Showa Retro / 1960s Item / Throat Disinfection Stick Metal Throat Disinfectant Stick Vintage Rare Item

This is a thin metal rod used for disinfecting the throat at a time when cotton swabs were not readily available.

It is held by passing the index and middle fingers through it, and a piece of absorbent cotton soaked in alcohol or other disinfectant is attached to the tip to disinfect the throat.

It is said to have been included in a medical supply set when the social insurance system was first established and one joined.

This is a wonderful rod that allows you to feel the charm of the Showa era, which is impossible to obtain today.

You probably won't find it even if you search.

It also makes a great object, room decoration, or collectible.

You can also use it as a memo stand or display stand by inserting the rod part into something and using the round part◎

It creates a wonderful antique atmosphere.
