I found a milk/dairy bottle today. It looks like it says Rocer Williams, but I am figuring it is Roger WIlliams Dairy. When I research it online, I can't find anything. So, I am looking for any help I can get.

Thanks

Does the bottle give a town and or state, or only Roger Williams Dairy?
How about a picture if possible?

I didn't see a town. I live in RI. The only thing I found was in an obituary about the man and that he was a former owner of the Roger Williams Dairy in Johnston, RI. I can't find anything else about it online.
Thanks

It is too late tonight, but I will take a picture in the morning and post it. I don't think it is for the Zoo. It is a similar style bottle like that of a HOOD milk bottle.

Hello Ms. Leona,

Welcome to A-BN, Roger Williams should be a name familiar to Rhode Islanders.

@ Surfaceone, thank you for the info. I am very familiar with who Roger Williams is, the problem is I am trying to find information about the bottle with the name "Roger Williams Dairy" on it. I can not find any info about the dairy itself online or any images of another bottle.
thanks.

Hey Ms. Leona,

You found it:

1166361.jpg
"Peter D. Baffoni, Jr.
(Died May 21, 2011)
Baffoni, Peter D. Jr. 81, of Greenville, died Saturday, May 21, 2011 in the Miriam Hospital. He was the husband of the late Liberata (Elliano) Baffoni and the partner of Ann (Votta) Brown. Born in Providence, he was a son of the late Peter and Louise (DelMastro) Baffoni.
Peter was the co-owner of the former Roger Williams Dairy of Johnston for over 50 years. He later worked for a variety of dairies, including Garelick Farms, before retiring. He served in the US Army during the Korean Conflict...." From.

At first, you seemed unsure of what the embossing actually read. While this is not "a lot" of information, it does answer several questions. The Dairy was at Johnston for many years. Now you know what the "PB" on the base stands for.

You might write The Johnston Historical Society for further information. Good luck.
