Some of the Milks I have found while searching the river, 2 embossed two acl
the first one on the left says w.b. brown and sons bottom says e or l 51 so i assume its a 1951.
second is a whiting milk lot of embossing boston reg bottom has a triangle with a circle in the middle and it looks like a q1 to the right.

the third is a hood embossed near the shoulder on 4 sides with 3 dots above the hood embossing has a circle with a 4 in the middle on the bottom with a symbol above thats a x or it almost looks like a pair of scissors opened

The fourth is another acl of w.b.brown and sons. unforutantlly most is pretty faded which is too bad because you can see it said two little kids with a string that goes up to a stork and it says" sail to health drinnk our butter milk everyday bottom" has a large T with a m and c under the T which i found out is from thatcher co. which made milks from1923 to 1951.

With the internet I cant believe I cant get more info on the W.B. Brown and sons Dairy Is it local to RI which I assume...herard of bronwns dairy but not W.B. Brown and sons

hey splante. I am a milk collector but cannot help you with those milks because I don't collect Boston stuff. I would recommend using steel wool to help clean those milks up a bit better. the second one from the left looks pretty nice. also on the pint milk the date is probably on the heel. good luck

Hi. I am in Indiana and I just found a bottle like yours. Don't know a thing about it either. Looks like these bottles got spread out. Chuck.
