Edicraft Siphonator Coffee Maker Thomas A Edison Early Antique Electric Item

Description

Edicraft Siphonator Coffee Maker. Nice early coffee maker that I believe dates from between 1918-1929. It appears complete but I’m unsure if/how it works. If someone knows how to go about using it I’m willing to test it. Also has a handmade doily cover someone made for it. Plating looks like nickel or chrome plating. It’s in good overall condition but does have a small crease/crack in the lid as shown in one of the photos. Sold as-is.
