Up for bid is an item which, frankly I don’t know what itis.
Circa early 1960s, item measures3.25” long x 2.75” high.
Bottom whichhas engraving is a bit curved.
Has theclassic intersecting BAYER on both sides.
The area with the BAYER is 1.25” x 1.25”.The circular tube at the top ishollow.
Item weighs approximately 3.5ounces.
Slightly curved bottom has “FARBENFABRIKENBAYER LEVERKUSEN” engraved in block capital letters.
I believe this is the name of the company andthe city in Germany where it had its headquarters.
As I said, I knows nothing about thisitem.
Item is Very Good but does showwear and loss of black paint.
Submissionof a bid is an acknowledgment that I cannot identify the item you are biddingon nor can I determine what it was used for.
But, I am sure that a BAYER advertising collector somewhere knows thatthis is and would like to add it to their collection.
