Can't beat that for half a buck . I have never found one bottle in my area at a yard sale . Matter of fact bottles have always seemed to be scarce in this area period , and there is a lot of history to the area I live in . The town I grew up in was founded in 1833 .

Well - great bottle. It reminded me of my first milk bottle that a neighboring Dairy farmer gave me when I visited with him over his barn yard fence and then we went into his barn. Age 8.
My second milk bottle I got from Thatcher Glass when my grandfather took me there to see how milk bottles were made. Age 9 or 10.
I ended up going to work at Thatcher Glass. Age 37.
And I still have those two milk bottles. RED M.

Hi Mike, Yours are some beauties! I wonder how a milk bottle from Tn. got to key west. Do yours have anything on the back? This one says sealtest system on the back.

Hi Jay and Mike, how goes it.
Mikes look like Priof type lids, Jay's looks much earlier, maybe tintop. That may be unusual for the brand. Are there any numbers or symbols, no matter how small. It may help with a dating.
