If you have one that was from a large dairy that had a lot of them then it won't be worth as much but if you have one from a small dairy there might not be many of them. In my opinion if you can pick up a nice war bond bottle with good graphics it should be worth atleast $100. Maybe you can talk them down a little. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 8

RE: ACL Milk???? - 2/18/2007 4:00:16 PM    Worldcupkeeper   Posts: 200 Joined: 2/9/2007 From: East Tennessee Status: offline My grandmother had thought it might have been from WWII, she said it was sitting in her old basement when she bought the house. Do you happen to know the value of this one? She said she would never sell it but she would like to know the value. < Message edited by Worldcupkeeper -- 2/18/2007 4:01:09 PM > (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 9

RE: ACL Milk???? - 2/18/2007 4:27:28 PM    epgorge Posts: 2410 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline TNCgal, I was googling with you. Sorry ... it's just Vermont humor. Some questions are pretty easily researched, as most of us do it quickly and post. It struck me funny you telling them to google it, as we all wish most people would do. Finding out what your looking for through the research is half the reward for me. Thanks for the link. Joel _____________________________ (in reply to tncgal) Post #: 11
