Ralph, I need some help , I have a milk bottle with the name Markwell Milk and Ice cream , Platt Natl. Park Okla. pat. Jan 1 1914. Have you ever seen one of these and what is the value ? Thanks Bud
My husband's grandfather owned and operated the Merchant Dairy in Danville, VA back in the 40's/50's. I am not certain how long the dairy was in business. Anyway we have one bottle, but would like to give one to my brother-in-law and his fiancee at their wedding (this September).
I thought this would be easy, and have checked in several antique stores and flea markets in Danville, but I never realized there were so many people interested in milk bottle collecting. I'm starting to think this may be looking for a needle in a haystack. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone has any information, please email me at above address. Thank you.
Greetings from Ohio !
Between 1930-1990, the CHROBAK family ran the SHADY LANE DAIRY in NEW CASTLE, PA. That was my Grandpa, dad & uncles. When the farm was sold in the early 90's no one thought to save a bottle. I am asking all you collecters to please get in touch with me if any of you come accross a SHADY LANE bottle you would be willing to sell. It would really mean a lot. I would be happy to send a picture of the farm and one of a milk truck. Thanks !
Greetings from central Illinois! I am interested in bottles from my area's past dairies (Peoria: Bourland's, Schwab's, Schirers, Stafford's, etc.). If anyone knows of some, please drop me a line.
By the way, I know that the Chester Dairy still bottles Farm Fresh milk in glass. Boy I long for those days. I also know of a firm that bought the Laesch Dairy in Bloomington and now sells limited #s of 1/2 gal bottles of milk at area stores under the "Oberweis Dairy" name, FYI for those interested in Illinois dairies. One last question: are there any other dairies in the state or mid-west where they still bottle milk in glass for sale? Thanks.
