I see that there are some milk-bottle collectors here; perhaps someone would give me an idea about the origin and rarity/value of a quart bottle I have acquired.
The bottle is a painted label. It says:
SUNNY BROOK
DAIRY
PASTEURIZED
MILK AND CREAM
PHONE S-5255
And on the reverse:
HELP WANTED
(mock message)
TO MAKE
THIS SLOGAN COME TRUE
VICTORY IN '45
DO YOUR PART ON THE HOME FRONT NOW
The base is embossed:
(script) DACRO (?)
SUNNY
DURAGLAS
BROOK
PATENT DES. 86037
There is a maker's mark also, a zero (or oval) with a ring around it, flanked by the numbers "17" and "5". (I surmise that the "5" represents 1945.)
This bottle was recovered in SCentral Florida, though I don't know of this brand in Florida. But, I don't know much about milk bottles. Any info, specific or general, would be appreciated.
