Until last night I thought that all the milk bottles that I had collected were Scottish, I find them in ploughed fields, and then just stash them away. But when I started to clean them I noticed one, which I thought was a lemonade bottle, was a Mendips milk bottle which would have had a metal stopper. How on earth would a London bottle end up on a North East Scotland farm field? Any info please. (UK - 17/08/08) |

My Grandfather owned a dairy in Northampton and I am desperately trying to find a milk bottle from this dairy. Some of the words we know were on the bottle would have included the name 'BEALE' and 'AMBUSH STREET DAIRY'. If you should have one of these bottles or could help point me in the right direction to find one, it would be most helpful, I am willing to pay whatever the cost to buy one. This would mean a lot to our family and I would very much appreciate any help given. (UK - 12/06/08) |

Ive got a milk bottle which I cant find any info on so I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on it? Its heavy glass and has the following embossed on it: Scottish Farmers Corporation Ltd incorporating The Scottish Farmers Dairy Co (Glasgow) Ltd & United Dairies (Scotland) Ltd Puriti. There is also a large thistle on both the front and back of the bottle, and F.G.C, and an entwined SF in the base. I've no idea if it's particularly old, or even collectable, but I've been using it as a vase for years and a friend has told me I should stop just in case! lol! I hope someone out there can help.
