Anyone familiar with a Victorian gadget called a "gasogene?"

It seems to be an early type of seltzer bottle.

There's a photo of one here http://221bbakerstreetla.com/bs_gasogene.asp

I've seen the smaller vrsion of this picture but never the entire shot. Thanks.

Anyone familiar with Shelock Holmes knows about the gasogene. I sure would like to have one.

Weren't they on cars???

I seem to remember Grampie's old car had something like that.
