NC Milk Bottle

Here is a cool milk bottle I found while inventorying some timber, There was a Biltmore milk bottle barely exposed. After I dug it up I saw the top of this bottle. It is a quart size by Silver Springs Dairy from pine bluff nc I only pick up milk bottles because my grandmother collects them, she really liked this one.

"Milk bottles can be found with or without neck embossing. The necks of milk bottles were embossed to make it easier to grasp the bottle as well as to aid in creameries identifying their bottles. The five pint bottles pictured above represent different neck embossing. The first bottle has up side down arrows, the second has fluted panels on the neck, the third has 3 rings (we have seen as few as one and as many as six rings), the fourth has short vertical lines (the most common neck embossing) and the last milk bottle has raised dots. We have also seen milk bottles with zig zag lines, diamonds, spiral lines, the dairy's initials and slogans such as "It Whips" embossed on the bottle's neck. " Milk Bottle Necks & Lips
