    Monroe County PA bottles wanted

    Hi. It's nice to meet a fellow local collector! How long have you been collecting the area? I have doubles of a few of these available for trade. Bonser, Everett, Kautz, Birkenhour, the Merwines. Some of the medicine bottles can be really hard to find. I'm looking for some of the tougher milk...

    Hello Ms. Welter. A few years back you told me to let you know if I ever found an extra Harold Welter milk bottle...and I have! I thought of you first since you said you've been looking for one for so long. Perhaps I can get it to you if you're still looking for one. Give me a call 570-579-4627...

    Wanted Baltimore Pontiled Sodas

    I saw a Russell & Burt stoneware beer at an antique store in PA yesterday. I thought it might be local since we had a local bottler named Burt.

Williams, Stroudsburg Castle Inn Farm, Delaware Water Gap Predmore Bros C.D...

    Monroe County PA milk bottles

    Hello Ms. Welter, I'm glad you got to see these bottles! These are the only two Welter bottles I've ever owned...but I have seen a few others over the years. I was offered one a few years ago but it was badly damaged so I didn't buy it. I'll keep my eyes open for you though and see what I can...

    Yacorie--thanks for checking out my bottles! No I have not seen a bottle from Reeders. Bartonsville and Scotrun are the nearest towns I've seen milk bottles from. There's a pontiled soda from Tannersville and I saw a labeled medicine bottle from there also. dptjr--I'm not looking to sell these...

    Monroe County PA milk bottles

    Hi. Thanks for looking and for the information about the Hineline Dairy! These are the bottles I have...a quart, pint, and half pint. This is the only style bottle I’ve seen from the dairy and every bottle I’ve seen with a date has been from 1942. I’m guessing they didn’t use too many bottles...

    Caro-Cola Palmerton PA

    Here's a cool local bottle I just got at MY OWN yard sale. We have a yard sale every couple years and I always put out a few bottles. I always sell some of the bottles, but I'm really hoping to strike up a conversation with someone or, better yet, have someone offer me some bottles. This year a...

    Curious Milk Bottle with Spout

    That National Dairy bottle is really cool! I never saw one of those before. I think that first "bottle" is actually tea steeper. It would have had a lid and possibly an insert for the tea. Put in the tea, add hot water, steep it, and pour it into a cup. I don't know why anyone would cut the...

    Embossed milk

    I agree 30's-40's most likely, but a lot of milk bottles are actually dated. Look for a two-digit year on the base (like "35" for 1935 or "42" for 1942 for example). Sometimes it's very small. If that's a Thatcher bottle from the 30's there could be two tiny numbers inside the circle on the...

    Monroe County PA milk bottles

    Thanks to everyone who checked out my collection and thanks for the replies. Mark Wiley--That's such a cool story to hear! One of the reasons I decided to post my collection was the hope that it would draw out some stories like yours. I love hearing the history and family connections. Of course...

    MONROE DAIRY EAST STROUDSBURG, PA. Another large dairy that operated for a long time. Bottles say "Monroe Dairy," "Monroe Dairy Inc.," "Pasteurized Milk," "Quality Milk." Bottles are Thatcher and Owens with dates ranging from 1927 to 1947. There are East Stroudsburg and, later, Stroudsburg...
