I have not had an opportunity to get on the site and post anything in quite a while, so I thought I'd make time to post up some pictures and information on my milk bottles from Monroe County, PA.
I've been collecting bottles from the area for about 20 years now, and while I have amassed quite a few milks there are still some I don't have. This list is not complete and they're not in any particular order. If anyone out there has other bottles from the area and would like to share pictures or information please do!
I seem to have misplaced my research notes (lost in a move I think), so any information I'm posting here is from memory unless it's on the bottle itself. I can't guarantee complete accuracy.
First up are my INDIAN SPRING DAIRY STROUDSBURG, PA bottles.
These are all Thatcher bottles. The "SPRING" bottles are both dated 1928. The "SPRINGS" bottle is dated 1927.
I believe this dairy was sold in the 1930's and continued in operation into the 1940's at least (I think Blakeslee took it over).
