Beautifully streamlined design which swings satisfyingly, would complement any modern kitchen, bathroom, utility space. Very rare to find! This liquid soap dispenser, was made by Hortons of Rickmansworth, Herts. Its predecesor was designed and patented way back in 1917/18 by L.W Holmes and although modifications have been made nothing has bettered the original concept. When used with Horton's 'Homocal' liquid detergent it claimed that not a drop was wasted (important in times of rationing). Its sucess as a design must also reflect the growing awareness of the importance of hygene in the home & workplace
