Milk Bottle Abbreviations

Numbers that appear on milk bottle's do not refer to the date they were made, they refer to the state in which the bottle was manufactured. A state would be assigned a number by the maker's, for example I have one with a round slugplate that say's "sealed 51" meaning it's an Illinois bottle.

Well Ryan, Because I worked for them "/ T. M. Co, " is Thatcher Manufacturing Company.
There will be a mold number and I guess a state number. They were made by a lot of glass companies. I guess Dr. Thatcher started it off though. RED Matthews

I read this thread earlier, and was just logging on to give the same response. Looks like you beat me to it. I suppose there are also Half Pints (HP), Half Gallons (HG), Gallons (G), but that may be confusing because I believe a quarter pint is sometimes called a gill.
