I have a milk bottle that is 18ins. I got it two years ago for christmas. The front has "milk 1890". I would like to know more about this bottle. The back has a pic of a cow. The bottle has a large star.
i would have to agree, looks too new to be that old. The $500 one is askin way too much, on the columbus, ohio craigslist we have a guy who wants $500 for a hemingray 42, thats 1000 times the book value (actually it's more like an infinate amount as thats how common 42's are) so i would assume the guy askin 500 for the bottle is just hopin to strike it rich. But hey, if you got it for christmas it shouldnt mater what it's worth, it's a christmas present and those are allways good.
I saw one of these these cool bottles other day at an antique shop in Spirit Lake, IA. It was $40-$60 and had a large star on the bottom. it looked like a repro display bottle to me.
