Antique Boots The Chemists Boat-Shaped Glass Baby Feeding Bottle - This is an antique press-moulded clear glass baby feeding bottle of the boat-shaped or banana variety. It was produced for the British pharmacy chain Boots The Chemists during the late 19th or early 20th century. The bottle features a double-ended design with openings at both ends and a flattened base on one side to keep the vessel stable when placed on a flat surface. One side is embossed with the Boots logo in script. The opposite side features a graduated scale with markers and the word OUNCES embossed in the glass. The piece shows visible longitudinal mould seams consistent with its construction method. This style of hygienic feeder was designed to be more easily cleaned than earlier models.
