One Of My Holy Grail Ellicott City Milks Acquired!!

[waskey]

I have been looking for an example from this dairy for quite some time now. This one was actually dug by Joey a few years ago and since he has been selling off many of his bottles, he asked me if I was interested in this one. He plans on keeping a few of his rarest Ellicott City milks, but was generous enough to let this one go. I don't believe any of the MD milk guys have an example of this and I have actually only seen 2 other intact examples. It has some damage but I got it for a good price and until I find a mint one(if I ever do) this will remain on the shelf. I am very happy to now be the owner of this bottle. It is embossed Appleridge Farm Dairy / apple figure / G. H. Wehland.

Close up of the slug plate. Very cool with the embossed apple in the center. This example dates to 1934. This dairy was only around for a few years.

Neat design on the neck too.

That is a really cool milk, never would have imagined that an embossed apple had a place on any milk bottle. Hope ya find an undamaged one sometime but just having that is awesome.

Thanks guys, hopefully a perfect example pops up somewhere. I'm sure they are out there, but no one knows where they're from since theres no town on the bottle.
