I have a milk bottle from San Diego. Well actually I have several. The 2 shown in the first pic are identical except for the color. The one on the left is obviously clear but what color is the one on the right????? Is this what they call straw???? or is this the first step to SCA (I have never seen them in this stage......usually just clear then purple).

I added a second pic to show a SCA milk bottle along side the other 2.

Any info is appreciated.

Yes the purple one has been in the sun for a month. Was clear when I dug it. The one in question came out of the ground that same color and was in the sun for a month with no change.

I believe it is called straw but want verification.

Straw is a more yellow color than that. We dig milk bottles that color around here sometimes and we call them peach. It doesn't bring up the prise any but it looks cool.

I got one but my wife packed them in a box and there are a bunch of boxes but I will see if I can find it. Can't find my straw fruit jar either. Crap, I'm not helpin much.
