Milk

[Tony14]

What are the typical sizes on milk bottles. I have a half-pint, pint and quart from one local dairy and am wondering how many more sizes there were.
Thanks in advance for any info.

Tony,
I have a couple 2 oz. slug plate creamers from one of my local dairies but these arent to common. I have dug half gallon and one gallon size milks also. Hope this helps.

they make percentage ones too, I've dug 4/5 of a pint or something like that, I'll post a pic if I can find the bottle

the bottle club here had a meeting the other night and the guest speaker did a presentation on milk bottles. i know very little about them but it was interesting. the sizes he spoke of were gallon, quart, pint, 12 pint, 13 pint and a small one he called a 4 gil. also mentioned in passing was the tiny glass creamer bottles. he said that the quart and pint were the most valued bottles to collect in general.
