The tin baby bottle has many names.  The 1872 volume of the Cyclopaedia of Practical Receipts and Collateral Information calls it a sucking bottle or artificial mother.  Randle Cotgrave's Dictionary of 1673 also calls it a sucking bottle. A suckling bottle (with the L) was a more common term.  A mammaly is an uncommon term. An ubstantiated rumor says one made of iron was unearthed and was dated to 1400's. They were made from pewter until it went out of fashion and was replaced by tin.
