- Details: This is a really cute vintage glass milk bottle from the Miller Dairy in Cambridge City, Indiana. It is a half pint size, tradition suggests that customers with poor quality ice boxes or no refrigeration, were more likely to prefer half or quarter-pint containers, this size was also used for cream. The text is in a wonderful orange pyro (pyroglaze), with a simple design. One side reads "Use Miller Grade A Homogenized Vitamin D Milk" cut-out letters on an orange background. The other side reads exactly the same, except they are orange letters on a clear background. The bottle has a square bottom which dates it post 1940's. The off-center round "scar" at the base of this bottle suggests it was made by blown parison molds. This is true with both Owens machines and later press-and-blow machines. The scars can be faint or distinct, but they are always off center, but we are not experts, please review and make your own determination. We have 5 Half Pint size milk bottles available, and 2 other sizes (One Pint and Half Gallon), available as well. We're offering a 10% discount for the purchase of 3 or more Miller Dairy bottles, mix and match sizes. Please Contact Us prior to placing your order for discount code, provide the quantity/sizes desired. We'll set up an exclusive listing to match your exact request.
