Hey guys and gals, just wanted to show off a very rare half pint milk bottle I dug a few weeks back.
The guys in my local bottle group say only one other is known of from this dairy.
It's a Morreene Dairy, B.C. Bridges Owner, Durham N.C.
It's by far my rarest find!
Rare milk bottle I dug, only 1 other known to exist!

I dug it at an undisclosed location in Durham.
Do you go digging often?

I've never been digging. I would be interested in going with you though. I'm a can collector so I wouldn't be competing with you for bottles.

I can't remember exactly what else but it was a few common bottles.
I didn't really think much of this milk bottle either until I got home and posted it on the local bottle collectors facebook page.
I figured it was just an uncommon one.

Congrats, Nice find. I've dug a few old Milk bottles here in Detroit. Do you have any idea of age? LEON.

Not 100% sure, most likely from the 20s
