That about sums up my feeling about milk bottles. Here's my best one:

​

This was a dairy operation in the Tampa Bay Area.

I really like the one with the indian on it. Do you know what state the Watertown bottle is originally from?

Nice Milk Bottles Guys.I'm not into Milks much either. Have a couple though. The clear has the original cardboard cap.

DigginThePast, these are all NY bottles. My buddy digs the indian milks, he has found over 20, both halfs and qts, he wholesales them for 15 or 20 if the market's good.

Road Dog, I have never seen the "older" style milk in amber, that's so cool. I was in a nice shop in a nearby town today. This guy has hundreds of milks in his shop and the ambers like mine go for 25.

Harry, is that a glass lid or the bottom of the milk?

Thanks.

Diggin', if they made milks that were embossed with the name, I think it would be easy to find one. Check the shops within 20 mile radius, talk to the guys, I am sure one will come to light. If not, you can always dig one . Good luck, gleaner1

Here is a couple of my scant few milk bottles. I think these bottles must have been used by local dairy co-ops in the '30s, but I don't really know any history for them.

Three cents and five cents seem like substantial deposits for that period of time. No doubt, the deposits kept most of these bottles in circulation.
