Very Nice Finds TONY14....

Keep sharing!

that milks a really nice one...ill get some better pics once i get it cleaned a little better...It has fountain city dairy embossed in script on the other side then on the side showing is an aluminum token embedded in the glass that says verifine.

I didn't know milks came with tokens on them..that's cool. What were they for and are they rare?

 

[Tony14]

The token was just part of the advertising...ive been tryin to figure out exactly why and some milk people have told me that they put the tokens on and polished them up to serve in fancy restauraunts...There are 4 different token milks from wisconsin and all of them are very rare...Havent seen too many sold though and i have no idea about the other states..
