New Rare Local Milk Added! - 7/19/2011 7:28:14 PM    waskey   Posts: 1530 Joined: 12/6/2008 From: ellicott city,md Status: offline Just recently bought this rare local Ellicott City milk off ebay. I paid $76 for it, but it is a very hard to find one and in great shape. This dairy operated in the 60s and were actually one of the first dairies anywhere to start using plastic containers for milk and juice. Glass bottles from this dairy were short lived so that is why they are so hard to get. My dad's friend grew up on this dairy farm and helped out alot with work around the farm. The dairy was owned by the Carroll family, related to the Carroll that signed the Declaration Of Independace. Alot of deep history in the family and it is very cool to add a milk bottle from the Manor Dairy Farms to the collection.

Hearing of the history changes my mind completely. I wonder how many bottles get passed over with such lack of knowledge as mine? Nice addition for you, eh!
