Summary
A boat-shaped (or banana-shaped) baby’s bottle made from clear glass, with a rubber teat on one end (circa 1880 to circa 1920). Embossed along either side is a scale labelled tablespoons on one side and ounces on the other. On top is an oval outline with 'The Sensible Feeder, No.3' inside. 'Made in England' is across the valve end of the bottle. The teat is a beige coloured material, probably rubber.
