<p>[QUOTE=&quot;necollectors, post: 1267712, member: 12723&quot;]I see the box says it is from a Goldsmith on the Rue des Francs-Bourgeois, here&#039;s a thought. Jewelers import many high end wares into their jewelry stores, I am looking at the hallmark...I see a thistle...which to me signifies Scotland. Perhaps the piece is not actually French,,,but imported for this Goldsmith. Baby feeders tended not to have handles, and often had a rib on the end to fasten a teat, or a cap with a hose to a teat. This may be for a wealthy person who is accustomed to the finer things in life, and in old age or declining health would still require being feed with a &#039;silver spoon&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
