Summary
A Mothercare no-spill medicine spoon (circa 1985). It has a clear plastic vertical tube, expanded at the base to make a foot, and a white detachable top made of plastic. The clear part has a scale marked off in millilitres and in teaspoons. When the white plastic cap is removed it shows that the clear tube is extended on one side to make dispensing to a child easy.
Provenance
Donated to the Museum of Childhood by Mrs Sue J. Fraser in January 2006.
