Found these two bottles today.
The Bolen & Byrne in situ:
Immediately after a quick rinse:
The bottle isn't perfect as it has a chipped lip but otherwise it is in nice condition.
The 5 Cent milk jug is marked "Store Bottle":
Later at home I noticed the Bolen & Byrne bottle had a date...
Someone in my neighborhood put this old jar to the curb after doing spring cleaning. When I looked closely I saw it was full of old paper milk bottle covers!
Judging from the four digit phone numbers I'm guessing some are close to 100 years old! So cool!
I'm a newbie who has just started collecting bottles. So far, I have 4 bottles and I'm now always looking for more. I'm addicted to collecting old bottles now.
The ones I'm interested in the most are old poison and medical bottles, but I'm looking for any kind of old bottle.
Also, thanks for...
Greetings Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has any information or knowledge about an Altman’s Dairy? I just acquired a 1/4 pint embossed milk bottle (pictured below) that reads “Property of Altman’s Dairy”.
I wasn’t able to find any information about it during some initial online...
I just traded for these rare milk bottles, both local from Tupper Lake, NY. One is from Tupper Lake JCT which is our downtown region near the train station. The RC Whitman is made by a glass company that was only around from 1910-1919 and the JE Laramay was made by a company that lasted from...

I'm trying to find out a little more info about this amethyst milk bottle from Mount Pleasant, PA. It's been through a lot with scratches and fleabites but I've never seen another one from this small town. On the front it reads "LIQ. 1/2 PT. MT. PLEASANT DAIRY E. E. P. MT. PLEASANT, PA." On the...
Looking for info on this bottle. Has milk protector at the bottom, but not "made in Italy" on underside. Any info appreciated. Particularly what i can sell for.
I would love to have ANYTHING from the John Schlaff Creamery -- originally in Detroit in early 1900's, eventually moved to Chesterfield Twp. Michigan. Farm was sold in the 50's. His clientele ranged from Detroit to Port Huron. He was my husband's great-grandfather.
I've seen a lot of milk bottles, but never one quite like this. No idea of its age, as I found it in a charity shop. I can't tell if the spout is supposed to look like it does or if the end was sliced off for some reason. It's about 4" tall, and the only markings are a W and 12 on the underside...
