"Universal Double Thermos"
![]() ![]() ...I've looked at an awful lot of things, and have never seen anything quite like this!
...a side-by-side, double Vacuum Bottle Thermos, produced by Universal
Vacuum Products, Inc. ...the entire unit stands ~ 10" Tall, and is
~ 6 1/2" by ~ 3 1/4"...The "shell" is metal, covered with a cowgrain
vinyl...each vacuum bottle, presumably original, is intact, and holds 16 oz. liquid...
The stoppers are plastic cork-style, and the lip of each vessel is contoured to facillitate
pouring, as well as the insertion/extraction of the stoppers...
The bottom-most image is that of the base underside...
Most likely from the 1950's, this is a fairly unique treatment of this commodity; as I
said earlier, I have never seen another......
