Hi Shermanville, an unusually shaped milk bottle. Haven't seen one like it before. I like the seal too.

Angela,

yes, a bit unusual. I like it, and it is in real good
shape. A keeper.

Still no info on the web. Found mention of Spragues
in Vermont, Michigan, and N.Y. Nothing yet on Lockport
or Joliet, Illinois.

have a good un........

ADDED
Found a quart, not pint, selling for $75.
Not sure of the dates, period, have to do
more checking.
