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.
Bottle collectors, who often call themselves ‘diggers,’ seek a wide variety of bottles for their beauty, color and historical significance. Some key collectible varieties include bitters, milk, soda, beer and pointiled bottles.
