Original vintage “The Hygenic Feeder” glass baby feeding bottle / infant feeder, featuring a distinctive curved banana or boat-shaped double-ended design. The bottle is made from thick clear molded glass and has attractive raised embossed “THE HYGENIC FEEDER” lettering within an oval panel. Additional embossed measurement graduations for Ounces and Table Spoons are molded into the glass, reflecting its original practical use for measuring infant feed. The unusual two-opening design would originally have been used with feeding attachments such as a rubber teat or stopper, which are no longer present. A fascinating piece of historic nursery and baby-care equipment, ideal for collectors of antique baby bottles, vintage infant feeders, medical glass, apothecary collectibles, nursing memorabilia and social-history objects. This listing is for the glass feeder bottle only and is sold strictly as a vintage collectible/display item, not for modern infant feeding use.
