I found these milk bottles while Searching places to dig for next year. I am not a milk bottle collector, thats about the only bottle I dont collect. Dose anyone Know the Value? number 1 Back and Front:
Well, I have sold a few on EBay. The ones with the pyro on them generally sell higher than the embossed ones. Embossed ones I've sold have averaged between $8-10 and one pyro I had went for $44. However, it depends on the dairy and if maybe a local person wants that particular dairy. I've seen the "brick neck" ones go for a couple hundred....I don't believe you can really put a price on them as a whole....[8|] P.S. Nice looking bottles!
Hey towhead go easy on the brick necks. Those are pretty nice pyros from the 50's. They seem to be two color pyro's also which is a plus. The graphics are nice too. I'd say you milks are worth 15-25 dollars if they aren't scarce. If they aren't common bottles then who know's? They Can be worth $25 and up. Nice to see the pyro in such nice condition. That helps immensely.
I just noticed those are all different bottles. Atleast they appear to be. the ones with the longer necks are probably a little older. They made pyro milks up into the late 60's early 70's I believe. The tall square quarts started Post WW2. The shorter ones followed in the 50's and 60's. Here's a picture of the dairy's bottle from where I live. There are only three of these known and I have 2 and know where the third is. This is not listed in round pyro in the Ohio book and I know it would be worth a pretty penny. The bottle is from 1945 or so and there is a tall square pyro with the exact same graphics on it also. I sold one of the tall square quarts to a friend of mine.
