New Rare Ellicott City Milk Added! - 11/18/2011 9:04:12 PM    waskey   Posts: 1530 Joined: 12/6/2008 From: ellicott city,md Status: offline Added this very hard to find gallon size Manor Farms Dairy bottle to the collection. Manor Farms Dairy was located in Ellicott City, Maryland and my dad's best friend grew up and worked on the farm as a kid so it has good relations to our family. Also there is much history on the dairy, the Carroll family owned the dairy, they were related to the Carroll who signed the declaration of independance and also the founders of Carrolltown, and Carroll County in Maryland. Much very cool history with this rare local. The neat thing is that this dairy was only operated in the 1960s and the glass bottles were short lived. There are only two different known bottles both with black paint from the dairy and now I have both, but my dad's friend says he believes they used red paint, so hoepfully his memory serves him right Attachment (1) _____________________________ Looking to purchase any bottles from Ellicott City, Maryland that I don't have!!

I don't collect milks, but I somehow ended up with one of those gallon sized ones with the plastic handles... Are they really worth anything in general? I know locals can be worth a lot, but how big is the collector base for these monsters? _____________________________ Looking for bottles from Glen Ridge, Montclair, Bloomfield, Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, and if I like 'em, any other bottles from Essex County NJ! Also Manahawkin NJ! Message me if you want to find them a new home. (in reply to waskey) Post #: 3

They take up too much space on a shelf to collect them _____________________________ Looking to purchase any bottles from Ellicott City, Maryland that I don't have!!
