The Pharmacist was an older Man, it may be that He purchased the Soda
Syrup Dispenser at His Drugs Store long before the Soda Fountain Dispensers
with Chrome Levers were manufactured. ???

BTW, the Dispenser attached to the Coca-Cola Bottle was made of Plastic and
had a Big Red Button, it probably was made by Coca-Cola Corp.

Coca-Cola has a Museum in Elizabethtown, Kentucky about 40 Miles from where
I live.
They probably are on the internet (everybody else is) and they probably have
a photo of the Dispenser that I am talking about.
