I picked up some good scarce local milks over the last few months.

This Swiftwater Dairy quart is very scarce, but after 18 years of collecting I finally completed the three-size set!
They're early bottles, all dated 1914. So far they're the earliest dated milk bottles I've seen from Monroe County, PA.

Tobyhanna is another small town in Monroe County. I've heard of one or two other Pope bottles but I got my first chance to acquire one back over this past summer.

Ahwa Vista Farm Dairy was in Walnutport, and I've seen a couple of these half pints that say Lockport. The area that was Lockport is now in Walnutport. The diamond-design AVFD's are cool and I have seen them with "Walnutport" embossed. I added the half pint diamond design last week.

Ammon F. Stroup's embossed bottles are tough. I got the quart a few years ago at a show and found the half pint for sale online this summer.
I have a few different pyro Stroup bottles too.

Thanks!
I'm approaching 200 different local milks now!
Don't know if I should consider that a goal or a warning...

Excellent collection. It's always nice to get locals of the bottles you collect.
