Picked this one up yesterday at the mansfield show. Its as close to mint as anything I have, definitely would be hard to improve on it.

Nice milk Dan , those Hillsboro bottles are hard to come by . I have a Hillsboro milk out in the garage with a Scottsman on it . Got a pint and a quart I think . I used to have one with an embossed kid wearing a crown if I remember right . Crown Dairy I think , been too long ago for me to remember exactly .

I came into a bunch of old stock ice cream and butter cartons some years ago . Let them go in the auction I had , kicked myself for doing that ever since being there apparently was no one there from Hillsboro to get them , they went for little of nothing . The ice creams were dated in the thirties . Can't remember what the name of them were , wish I had kept at least a pair of them .

I have been thinking of selling the Scottsman bottle as I am not a real fan of Hillsboro bottles , will let you know if I decide to so so , they are in mint condition .

I never found much from Hillsboro . Some milk bottles , a few C. S. Bell bells , and those dairy cartons , and some crown top pop bottles , never did hear anything about insulators though . I am between twenty to twenty five miles south west of there , and I never did search that area hard for some reason . Found all the stuff I came up with at other places other than Hillsboro .

LC - definitely keep me in mind if you decide to part with the hillsboro bottles. Could your ice cream containers have been from owens?

I don't think there's a ton of stuff from hillsboro in the way of bottles. I know there was a hillsboro bottling works at one time. A couple guys told me there is at least one hutch out there, but i've not seen it yet. there are a few drug store bottles out there, and mckeehan hietand grocery co. had their own bottle, even though they weren't in business that long.
