Next is this neat 1929 Hardman's Chocolate Milk bottle. E.M. Hardman was the proprietor and he also sold regular milk in a different style bottle but strangely this chocolate milk type is more common than the regular ones. It has a nice vertical line design on the neck.

Here is the last one. I got this 1941 Hardman Chocolate Milk on ebay a couple months ago for only $9.99. This one has a slightly different design on the neck than the other one in the previous pic.

Thanks for looking Jim. I think that design is pretty neat too; they were the only local dairy that used that design probably so their bottles wouldn't get confused with any of the other dairies and get sent back to the wrong place.

Nice milk bottles, Henry. It is fun to collect the variants from dairies that had different bottle styles. We have some cool neck designs here, too. Here is my favorite, a C.D. Yetter Cloverleaf Dairy from Lewistown. This bottle is from 1930, and is the only one from my county that used the chain link neck. ~Jim

Thanks for looking Jim, thats a nice looking milk bottle there, there was only one dairy farm that I know of in Ellicott City that used the chain link design. Most of the local milks here either used vertical lines or had no design on the neck.
