I remember back in the 60's as a kid seeing small glass bottles containing cream for your coffee at resturants. I don't recall seeing that particular shape however. Pretty cute anyway.

Person was asking $40.00 for it. Here is a picture of a mini Bordens I dug, it is machine made and appears to be a replica of a regular Qt milk bottle. The back has a circle with Bordens embossed across it. I don't think the mini Bordens were creamers just too little volume. They might have been made for dolls or doll houses or something. Just a guess. Also two AMES bottles. Both are BIM. The short one is 1 5/8 in. tall with a rolled lip and the other is 2 in. tall and says AMES BERYLITE. I think those were tooth powder samples. Still just a guess. I have collected samples and miniatures for many years. They don't take up much space, if you look long enough you can find miniatures and samples of hundreds of bottles.

I think they could also be part of a child's playset that included either a miniature milk case with 6 bottles, or a tiny milk wagon...I saw references to such on Google. I also dug a miniature hobbleskirt Coca-Cola bottle about the same size as the Borden's a couple weeks ago... < Message edited by whiskeyman -- 7/6/2005 10:43:13 PM > _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.
