This is a bottle holder branded as "Mothers Helper." It consists of a series of springs that are attached to the side rails of a baby's crib. By placing a feeding bottle, pacifier, or toy in the center springs, it can hold the object in place above the baby. The hooks located at either end of the device appear to be made of brass.
The product is packaged in a bag that features a sketch of a baby in a crib, with the Mothers Helper holding a bottle. The directions on the bag explain how to use the device for feeding or playing, as well as how to make adjustments. The bag indicates that a patent application had been submitted, and the Mothers Helper was manufactured by Allen Knight, based in St. Johnsbury, Vermont.Context
