The male companion by Jones Ware, USA 1950's

This is a male counterpart to the previous posting.  I want to point out the positioning of the handle on this model, because it is often overlooked just how important this detail can be.  It would only be noticed by someone who is using the urinal from a practical stand point.  If one is bed ridden and flat on their back, it is important to be able to place the penis in the urinal with just one hand and not fall out of the opening during urination.  By placing the handle so far forward one is able to pull the urinal forward with your forefinger while holding the penis in the opening with his thumb.  This model incorporated the design improvement from the 1940's model.  Again the attention to the finishing detail by the Jones Co. is extraordinary.  This piece is in near mint condition.
