Dug this one the other day. I was a little surprised at the condition of the label. It appears to be a WWII era bottle based on my research. Unfortunately it has a crack in it.

Nice bottle. The paint did hold up great for being buried. You are right, it is too bad about the crack but still looks like it would look good on a shelf and you can't complain about the price.

That's a shame about the crack, it's a great bottle! I don't know about in your area but around here those war milks go for incredibly high prices. I'd definitely be keeping that one even with the crack.
