I'd like to buy amber or green embossed milk bottles. In particular I would love to acquire an amber TREQ embossed with Fort Dodge Creamery Company, Iowa. I bought a near mint one of these in February and it arrived in pieces. It was the only breakage I've had with nearly 100 items sent to me from around the world. Please PM me with any items you have that might be of interest.

My brother lives in Iowa. Can someone explain to me TREQ and all those abbreviations again? I think we need a pinned thread on milk-related terms in the milk section. Did you glue it?

I have seen a cobalt one around here, I think it is a very common one though.

There is only one authentic cobalt milk bottle that I believe was used at the Hotel Sherman in Chicago as a creamer. All other cobalt milk bottles are fakes.

Yes, I've got one of those fakes.It's a one pint with "A bottle of milk is a bottle of health" inside a round slug plate.Magnificent cobalt color and displays well back lit next to a Borden's red quart.Would make any purist cringe. [8D]

The one I saw had a baby face under the lip I think, and I thought it was fake as well, so I didn't buy it.
