✅ SOLVED Old bottle info needed

[thrillathahunt]

Hello all, I came across this little cream bottle at a yard sale and would appreciate any info on it I can get. It is embossed, Property of C.A. Robson Red Wing, Minn. On the back it says, Bottle must be washed and returned.

Looks to be about a 1 pint milk bottle, maybe from the 40's or so.

I don't know much about collecting dairy bottles but I do have one experience. I found a local milk bottle in an old dump on my property and not finding any info. about it online and not realizing it might have any significant value I donated it to the town museum.

A couple years later I was chatting with someone who knew about the local milk bottle market and he told me my bottle had been a rare one and worth $300+ to collectors.

I'm still happy it went to the museum but you might want to try to find some collectors in the Minnesota area if you are interested in finding out more about its worth because not everything can be found online (yet).

Thank you for the info Bramblefind. I knew it was old and well worth the 10 cents.
