Hello to all from a new member.Greetings from Australia.I've been collecting colored embossed milk bottles for about twenty years.Starting with New Zealand Ambers and have built a reasonable collection from around the world. My USA collection: (all different)3 Amber 1/2 gallons40 Amber Quarts5 Green Quarts1 Red Quart2 Amber Pints7 Amber 1/2 Pints1 Amber 1/4 Pint I lurk on a number of well known online auction sites daily & am ready to admit that I'm obsessed.I don't collect pyro's in an effort to leave some room in my house for me.John Tutton's book Udderly Delightful is a valuable resource, but interestingly some items in my collection are not listed.I'm always looking to add to my collection - especially embossed greens and would love to hear from anyone with items for sale.

WOW, that's impressive!I see you've stayed away from the cobalt Liberty and Brookfield reproductions. I few of those might be worth adding for the heck of it.

I wasn't going to mention those.Some purists on another bottle forum I frequent get quite sniffy at the mere mention of "fakes". How old are you boy?Fifteen?!?When I was your age I was twenty!

I feel if you want a collection they should be there as examples, selling then as real is another matter. I know what you mean about the "purists" though.
