Florida milk bottle - 2/16/2009 11:02:20 PM    #1twin   Posts: 751 Joined: 5/25/2006 From: Biloxi Ms Status: offline I was recently given this 5 cent Florida milk bottle. 1/2 pint store bottle. I found one on e-bay selling for 27.50 + shipping. Can anyone tell me if that is a realistic price or not. Thank you for any information provided.  Marvin  "the mole" I know.... my picture taking skills are terrible, sorry folks!!

The little ones sell for 5 to 10 bucks but 27 bucks is still reasonable. They were used in hospitals, asylums and schools. I think I have one somewhere. Sold a pile of them at the flea market. The government gave the bottler surplus milk that they purchased from dairys to keep them from going under. Kind of like they are doing now but we get nothing in return. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ http://www.bornagainamerican.org (in reply to #1twin) Post #: 2

I do have one question, though. Are those fishing lures hanging on your wall? I've never seen them displayed like that. Are they old ones?  ~Mike _____________________________ I see dead bottles.............and they're all broken. (in reply to #1twin) Post #: 4

I know of a creek near by that has a bunch piled up in a corner. We were headhunting in this creek and we got several broken milk bottles. Everything from quarts on down. I got one whole pint. We just walked away since there were no arrowheads. When the water gets down some, come on up and we can get wet. The creek is kinda big but managable. I even got an ink bottle and a marble there.
