About Antique Milk Bottles

The milkman may be long gone, but glass milk bottles are still used in some places, and are loved by collectors, who often fill them with white sand (or a similar substance) and have them re-capped. Prior to the 1930s milk bottles were generally embossed. After that, dairies or distributors used a glaze or applied label to identify their brands.
