NO-ONE managed to identify last week's Craven Curiosity.

However, David Heather came close with his guess that it was a liquid container with a dropper lid.

It was, in fact, a pewter bottle-type lamb feeder.

Experts at Craven Museum and Gallery tells us: "It has a metal casing with a pear shape body and a screw cap with a teat hole in a centre round knob.

"The bottle’s measurements are 140mm in height with a 75mm diameter. The date of the bottle is unknown, but seems to be range from the late Victorian era to the early 20th century.

"As Craven is renowned for its agriculture, such an object was commonplace amongst its many farming communities.

"Lamb feeders are both a simple and practical way to serve milk and food to lambs."

All items featured in this column can be viewed at the museum, which is run by Craven District Council and is in Skipton Town Hall.

It is open Mondays (including Bank Holidays), Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, from 10am to 4pm, as well as the first Sunday of every month, from May to September.

Meanwhile, we are inviting guesses about this week’s mystery object.

Suggestions can be e-mailed to news@cravenherald.co.uk, to arrive no later than noon on Monday.
