Caulfield / Model / Farm / Lady Talbot Milk Institute / Cross / One / Pint / Nursery / Milk // Specially / Supervised / Pure Milk / To Be Washed and Returned. Base: M. Household Milk Tall lightning stopper type. Applied top with tooled finish. Clear (very pale aqua) glass. Pint. 255 mm. 1900s-1910s
Good. Displays much better than this but has two fractures/cracks in the top. One in the back right runs diagonally for 40 mm and there is actually a small 6 x 3 mm bruise on the inner lip above this. The other is a large thick bruise that is 21 x 8 mm on the left side of the top. Both of these are reasonably disguised with the stopper in place. There is a shallow burst bubble near the back embossing that measures 8 x 3 mm. Internally the glass is just lightly stained and there are a few signs of usage on the outside with some minor scratches and scuffs. A little bit of wear on the heavy embossing mainly around the shoulder. Rare milk bottle with the original bail and stopper, good opportunity despite the damage. Grade: 6.25 Estimate: $100 - 150
