university milk?

judu · Apr 15, 2010

i went to the old dump site today and as i watched the bulldozers finish off about allthats left of it, i thought i would wait till they left and look...i found this "half" of a milk bottle.....says university of tennessee creamery...i can find no info on it....could this come from the actual university?.......hoping some milk people might no more on this bottle....

Yes that is the university's milk bottle.Most university bottles are rare and command high prices.I dont know much about yours but im assuming it to have been a great bottle.In 1996 i dug a UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA 1/2 pint slugplate and it was at the time the only one known,I sold it for $700.00 in 2000.Since then i have dug 2 more of the same bottle.If i were you i would go back there and search good there may be another unbroken one close by,good luck.

yes it came from the school and all college bottles are very sought after and command good $$$

I have a V.P.I. creamery bottle which is from Va. Tech,a univ. of Florida which are both packed away at the moment.There are quite a few milks from colleges and university's out there.

I've dug a Rhode Island State College milk bottle. It's rare, and is worth $70-100 (less on ebay though).

I bet there is a University of CT milk out there somewhere, it was/kinda is an agricultural school. If anybody knows of one, I want it!
