Looks to be in great shape. The only pieces of paint missing are on the reverse side with the "Pledge Yourself to Buy U.S. War Bonds Regularly." and thats just a tiny scrape under the word regularly.
Still looking for information regarding this milk bottle. Scoured the internet and bottle collecting guides that are available to me and can find little to no information about this bottle. So, please if anyone can tell me anything else about this bottle it would be much appreciated. I was able to find the dairy farms history online so that information is taken care of, anything else will be news to me. Thanks in advance.
I do believe this is from Baltimore, Md. Found several records of bottles from this dairy but not a pyro with war bond ad like this. War ad milk bottles are a good thing as they are a catagory of collecting in itself.
Still looking...found this particular bottle on worthpoint also. Just can't make myself pay worthpoint to let me see old auction data.

I've got a few emails out to Maryland area bottle collectors, but still no definitive information regarding this bottle.
This is a pretty scarce bottle. The farm itself was located in Ellicott City, Maryland, and the dairy office was located in Baltimore. They supplied the Howard County area as well as the Baltimore area with milk up until the mid 40s when they joined with the Royal dairy of baltimore and became the Royal Dunloggin Dairy. I have personally seen only 2 other ones with the war bonds like yours that had good paint, so this is a very nice bottle.
