Roger Williams Dairy Bottle

Thanks Surfaceone. I posted a question on the Johnston Historical Society page. Are you saying the PB is for the man's initials? I thought the markings on the bottom were from the company that made the bottle, not the product in the bottle?

Hey Ms. Leona,

That would be my opinion, as there is no Glasshouse marking of "PB." Milk bottles are a different bag of cats, entirely.

I couldn't find the PB marking either. What is up with the pictures?

A lot of milk bottles have the dairy initials or initial on the base, I think so they could easily identify their bottles when they were in a rack upsidedown. In this case the manager's initials instead would make sense.

Thanks Cobaltbot, makes sense. I am very surprised that I can't find any mention of the Dairy other than that in the man's obituary....

Ms. Leona,

There's lots'a history missing, or undocumented about bottles, dairies, and common items of everyday life. I was pleased that you found anything at all.

I like pictures. What's not to like about Anna May Wong.

She was James Wong Howe's cousin, after all.

@Surfaceone, I never knew. I just read about both of them. Very interesting. Thanks

A friend of mine is working on making a book of Rhode Island milk bottles. They are the most numerous type of RI bottle so they were omitted from the Little Rhody Bottle Club's bottle book. Roger Williams Dairy doesn't seem to be particularly rare, but it has some nice history behind the name.

@RIbottleguy, will the book list the rarity of the bottles?

I know this was posted a long time ago, but I stumbled on it recently. Do you still have the bottle from Roger Williams's Dairy?
