TOC Paterson N.J. milk bottle...

[epackage]

With all the soda, beer and mineral water bottles to be had from Paterson, I'll never understand why so few old milks are ever found. That being said I am very happy to have added this C.W. DeWitt quart to my collection, it's got just the right amount of SCA to give that extra appeal it deserves. He is found in the Paterson directories starting in 1892, he is listed there until 1905, after which he and the family move to Nebraska, this is a great early milk of his...

Perhaps it is that milk bottles were more "returnable" than other bottles. I bet there are massive dumps of these as companys went out of business. I like old milk bottles. They have a lot to say. I have a few, perhaps I'll do a group picture and post them. Thanks for showing your new finds.
