Another Objet d'Vogue

Observe the gadget above, Lady Ursula. Have you any idea what is its use?

You are correct to identify it as a Victorian perfume dispenser, from 1892, spotted in an Apothecary Museum. A lady such as you or me would drop in one cent, pull its spoonesque lever and wait till a spray of "the finest Paris" perfume wafted onto her hand or handkerchief. The bell would tinkle too.

That and a hat and we are set to go about town.

And yes, that jar you see behind is for the leeches.
