Amazing collection.

The most green milk bottles I've ever seen in one place. What was the purpose of the green color? Were they trying to protect the milk in a better way?

Interesting, I don't think I ever seen a Green Milk Bottle before. Do you have a Ruby Red Milk? LEON.

They were used to distribute eggnog at Christmas time.

Since I am not deep into bottles, I had no idea something like this kind of collection could be put together. I knew there were a few amber ones here and there, but had no idea about the green ones or how many amber ones could be found! I am stunned by the beauty of this amazing collection. It makes me wish I had more room for sure!
