It's a small town, about 3000 but if your from there you may know that. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.

It's like the farm never existed. It's weird. I live right next to Womeldorf, so I guess I could go snooping around the town hall or something. (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 5

Wolmesdorf is in the area of the Mennonite community. Does that help? Any suggestions who else could identify this bottle?? Age -Value- etc... (in reply to JGUIS) Post #: 8

RE: mystery milk bottle - 9/25/2006 9:51:22 PM    Zuludaboy   Posts: 9 Joined: 9/21/2006 Status: offline I have found out a ton of information about my "mystery dairy bottle". I spoke to the historian at the Womeldorf Historical Society. (who knew a small town like this would have a historical society) The milk bottle is from a small farm in Womelsdorf that was only in business for 15 yrs. The bottle is dated from 1915-1930. 1930 is when the old farmer sold his property because he couldn't keep up due to his age. The historian knows of one other bottle because the society club owns it. I know know where exactly the farm was in Womelsdorf. The mystery is over!!! Thanks for all of your help!!  Judy Now I have to figure out what to do with it-- keep it or selling it !!! I'm torn.

RE: mystery milk bottle - 9/26/2006 9:07:24 PM    Zuludaboy   Posts: 9 Joined: 9/21/2006 Status: offline Hi- The problem with that idea is that there is a beer distributor and a bank and a pizza place where the old farm used to be. I think I am going to keep it. It seems to have a lot of history and I like that. Thanks!! Judy (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 11
