Peerman (Australia) Spirit Dispenser

Here is my bakelite spirit dispenser, manufactured by Peerman (Australia) and marketed by CJ Thomas (Thomas Coleman, Australia). Circa 1950 -1954.

Cute!

 

A neat item!

 

A correction to my post above.

The Australian alliance between CJ Thomas and Son and Coleman was "Coleman-Thomas".

This spirit bottle is listed on pages A1 and AA4 of an early 1950s Coleman-Thomas catalogue as a "Peerman Filling Can" FC 49; and a Peerman Household Accessory, respectively.

The listing on A1 says that they "...are available in attractive colours...".

Thanks, Jeff.

I have a PDF of that catalogue... It's rather large - but it is a very useful reference.

I see you posted the relevant section on vapourisers (generators) in Phil's post.

Cheers

Correction: Matt's post...

 

Hello Tony, yes, it's a useful catalogue and showing the innards of the Coleman vapourisers/generators was a good idea.

 

The spirit bottle subject of this post on the left, another with the Peerman lid (right), and a Peerman spirit bottle likely made for irons (middle).

A fine trio and they appear to be made from Bakelite?

 

Yes, Jeff.

They are Bakelite.

@Tony Press , Nice Peerman Trio.

@Marko57 Good to see the original box too but I am more impressed with the 5 burner horizontal background item.
