Ok I have searched every where and I have this antique bottle w/ box says biberon de mon bebe. what is it?

Question

the box has a lithograph on yellow paper with red ink. Bottle is glass corked with wood cork w/ glass tube down inside through center....a plastic or rubber tube got hard and broke off, the "nipple" is made of porcelin and broke off from dryrot as well. Pure cotton batting is still inside the box, also at the bottom of the lithograph are the letters G.C. I really need help with this I know its french, but not sure what it is or how much it is worth.

Answer 1

de mon bebe = 'of my baby' or 'for my baby'

not sure what 'biberon' means but I will go and find out!

Answer 2

Biberon translates as "feeding cup" or "infant bottle" and de mon bebe translates literally as "of my baby" so syntactically what you have is my baby's bottle.

I have no idea what the G.C. might stand for, nor do I know what this item would be worth. I would guess not very much, simply because of its deteriorated state, though the box would offset some of that diminishment in value. Still, it is a piece for which there would be a limited market even if it were in mint condition so I would not expect to get much of a price for it. If you like it I suggest you simply keep it as a curiousity.
