1900's milks? - 9/30/2008 2:15:28 PM    #1twin   Posts: 751 Joined: 5/25/2006 From: Biloxi Ms Status: offline This is a picture of 4 milks I found, that are odd shapes for a milk bottle around here. One reads CAMBRIDGE 1 PT 568 ml. The next one has a large letter E express 1 pt 568 ml, back side reads- THIS BOTTLE COST 3P PLEASE RINSE & RETURN PASTEURIZED MILK. Next one reads FARMERS DIRECT DAIRIES HASTINGS contents 1pt 568 ml. back side reads please return bottle. Next one reads in script HORRELLS back side PETERBOROUGH tel 264444"  Are these worth much considering they do not look old and sound like they are from another country?  Any info on age or value appreciated.  Thanks, Marvin Attachment (1) Post #: 1

The Express bottle has a W with a symbol like an upside down J on top of another J  8  H on the heel. The Cambridge has a combination CP symbol 14 on the heel. The Horrells has the CP symbol 6. Finally, the Farmers Direct has AB 268 H w/uc in a 6 sided symbol, almost like an octagon, 12. No marks on the base of them. I agree with LC  that they must be foreign made. I appreciate both of your replies and information. Have a great dig    Marvin  (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 5
