I've never found many complete embossed milks in the wild , usually are broken or damaged . if I find one not broken usually be plain or from out of area

find the odd local one swimming but usually be broken if I do

There was a large 5 cent milk bottle in 4 pieces there. It was a real heart breaker

Nice finds! That Rexall bottle is quite unusual, looks like it's ABM, and embossed ABM drug store bottles are very unusual. Never seen an embossed Rexall without a local store's name on it as well.

And personally I'd much rather find a local milk like yours than a 5 cent store bottle milk, which are far more common and can be found all over the US.

St. Louis is about 1.5 hours away from me so not really local.

And I’m pretty sure the 5 cent milk was a local

I thought I had a whole milk bottle yesterday but like you said they just don't make the smaller milk like the one you found I have found a few of them.
