Got a Little Calvert history

[texan connection]

We got a heck of a rain saturday so I walked the ditch I usally walk, as usall old and new glass everywhere.
I spotted this little gem and found out the guy was a local dairy owner in the early 1900's. Nothing special except its always great to get Name and some history

Thanks ya'll my grandfolks had a dairy farm, and personalized Bottle tops, I found a bunch in the top of the old dairy barn yrs ago. I still have a few.
Something like this is more rare than a Gold coin. But no-where near the monitary value.

I posted on Charter members only thread. Im going to france next month for 10 days, gotta 400 yr old monestary and a farm in switzerland to dig at, Its a "adventure to be" just yet. I hope to have some stuff to show when I get back, (Im actually way more excited than this response shows). Thanks for noticing

As time goes on and we all get older, so do those milk bottles. I thought nothing of them back in the '80s, but now, if they have some good local dairy information embossed on them, as yours there does, I think they look great in a windowsill.

They are kind of like glass trade tokens.

That is a nice milk bottle.

I totally agree!! A great find!!

Old personalized milk bottles like that are really cool!

When I was growing up those things were ALL OVER the old dump area at the back of our property, Now don't throw anything at me, but we used them as targets for 22s!

The dump now has houses and concrete on top of it.

If I had only known...
