Cheers for that Justin! I've got a mint baby-feeder, complete with stopper from a dig in the 70's. I've never seen the value listed - do you know of a site that has an accurate pricing guide?

My bottle looks almost exactly like the Boots example Skidders. It has a Company crest @ centre, with 'S. Maws.Son & Sons London Trade Mark' in an inner circle, with 'The Alexandra Feeding Bottle' in an outer circle. Aqua glass, pristine condition. It came from an absolutely glorious Thameside bottle dump on the estuary at Two Tree Island near Hadleigh, Essex. Two fellas digging a few yards from me unearthed a blue-lipped Codd and an emerald green Hamilton on the same afternoon. Pukka venue - now sadly closed....it was pretty dangerous - thick clay, fast tides etc.
