Description
Vintage soda siphons are very popular and collectible here in Argentina. I paid to get this picture at the famous Sunday street fair in San Telmo, Buenos Aires! The soda siphon, or siphon, a glass or metal pressure vessel with a release valve and spout for dispensing pressurized soda water was a common sight in bars and in early- to mid-20th century homes where it became a symbol of middle-class affluence.
The gas pressure in a siphon drives soda water up through a tube inside the siphon when a valve lever at the top is depressed.
