1980s aren't they?
Our dairies locally adopted them over the taller one's around then. When they changed from the older machinery that used the taller bottles. It was quite an upheaval. People complained they couldn't get their hand round the new bottles. The bottles filled the new crates though. The crates fitted the new float. More milk in the same space. Shortly after, our milk became pasteurised. So now pets can also feel the progress.

Both bottles have a clear line where the two halves came together. The left bottle has the extra detail of raised rubbing areas. It seems to show the fence didn't align though. Rubbing on that join line being elsewhere.

I had a neighbor who was part Indian, who liked to make arrowheads.

Haven't seen him in 3 months. I think he might have died.

Oh, i recall the old milk bottles...the other day, i asked my hubby's mom if she remembered the milk bottles that were delivered. Ours had cardboard caps. She didn't recall that or when toothbrushes were wooden with pig bristles. I must have grown up in a 'less progressive' area?

And, then, nobody could recall the old milk cartons that were waxed, for waterproofing.
