Would love to know tips on where to sell and determining value. What are peoples favorite forums for selling? I'm not interested in ebay. Thinking of Craigslist. Here is my dairy lot! :)

Only one I have really been able to reserach is the J.B Precott, which was the original dairy in Bedford Mass and then was turned into Bedford Ice Cream. :p

Anyone know where C.B. Meek was out or ? Or Giles's?\

I recommend looking at old city directories from the area, as they often give a list of dairy farms, who owned them, and their addresses. I would check with a local bottle collector, as they would know the most about these local bottles and their value/rarity.

Milks are just about impossible to determine a value on unless there are a lot of them around (in which case the value is low). Demand is typically low, even for fairly rare ones. I've had trouble selling embossed milks for much more than $10-$20 unless they are super rare small town milks.
