Summary
One of three pewter pap boats; bowls with spouts; stamped inside with crowned 'X'.
Full description
Although most pap boats (or infant/invalid feeders) that appear nowadays are early 20th century reprodutions made for a gullible American market, these do appear to be genuine early 19th century examples.
