German term or phrase: Kinderflaschenquelle
"Und da der andre selbstverständlich nicht die einzig wahre Kinderflaschenquelle, nicht den Schneider, nicht den Zahnarzt hat, so strahlt die Sonne allein im Universum"

I'm translating a piece by Kurt Tucholsky on Berliner auf Reisen and cannot find this term anywhere, is it real or made-up? Or perhaps a play on words?
I'm translating the piece as coursework but my intended audience would be readers of Berlin literature in English, similar to in Berlin Tales by Lyn Marven.
