dug 2 Wilton Farm Dairy milks

[BillZ]

I found them at a site in the woods near Baltimore. One is a pint and the other is a little 1/4 pint. The pint has a date of 1940. No date on the 1/4 but they were found pretty much next to each other so I think it is safe to assume that it is a 1940 also.
Anybody know much about the value if any?

First off- Welcome to the forum! Most Wilton Farms are listed in the Baltimore book as common, but a couple are listed as uncommon. I think Rhona has found a few of these. Do they have the soldier figure (guard of health) embossed on them?May not have a lot of value but milks are keepers for me an especially the gills (1/4 pint) which are usually harder to find.

Thanks for the welcome.
Both of the milks have the soldier on them.
Here is a link to a front and back pic. You may notice a little discoloration on them but it is just because I haven't thoroughly cleaned them yet.

Bill,

Welcome to the forum, too. Those two milks may be unlisted. The only one in the current Baltimore Bottle Book that is similar has , " Catonsville, MD." embossed before B.C.H.D.2864. Yours do not appear to have that part embossed on the bottles.

Thanks for the info. Does unlisted mean that it could be rare?
