Got milk? 1890 - 2/16/2011 8:04:27 PM    dmagave   Posts: 90 Joined: 2/24/2008 Status: offline i bought one of these 3gal. milk bottles 18" tall.has milk,a star under it,1890 under that.my photos are too big,sorry.the reverse has a cow...all embossed.the bottom has a de-bossed star but glass smeared over it.either to look like a pontil or to avoid some TM infringement. i'm wondering if it's a deco piece or if it may have been made to commemorate some50 or100 year dairy related anniversary. anyone know? i saw a few aution listings but no info.

I think there machine made and don’t have a cap seat for a milk cap. _____________________________ Please visit my Ebay Bottle Store http://stores.ebay.com/CobaltMoon Old Antique Bottle Website http://oldantiquebottle.com (in reply to dmagave) Post #: 6

The Meat Inspection Act of 1890 established USDA inspectors to enforce sanitary standards in the meat and dairy industries. Tuberculin testing of all dairy cows, to prevent the spread of tuberculosis, began in 1890. I think I remember reading about some plant that went bankrupt, got sold and then burned down in 1890. Nothing monumental for patents or union beginnings. _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to David Fertig) Post #: 8

Center them up good, it looks east to tip over. If not, everyone needs another penny bottle. _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to dmagave) Post #: 10
