Description

The listing, Vintage milk bottle with hand-picked beach stones has ended.

This auction is for one vintage quart-sized milk bottle from the 1950s and a selection of hand-picked beach stones which will half fill it, as shown in the pictures. The stones are predominantly gray/black and white, come from beaches in New York City, Long Island, Vieques PR and Culebra PR and were lovingly collected by me over the years. The heavyweight glass bottle is from an actual dairy which operated from the 1930s through the early 1960s in Easthampton, Massachusetts, Zaik Dairy (it was my grandfather's business, passed on to my father). The bottle is in excellent shape but it was definitely used!

For effect, I am showing the stones inside the bottle with water and a casual arrangement of (artificial) flowers. The winner will receive the bottle and the stones, both dry and packed safely and securely and separately within the shipping box. The flowers are optional....the winner is welcome to them.

This is a unique opportunity to win a bit of history along with some lovely and undoubtedly ancient, lovely beach stones.

Due to its heavy weight, I am only able to ship this auction to US addresses.

Please email or comment with any questions.

Thanks for looking, and thanks for your bids.

Good question. I should have posted it. The bottle is 8.5" tall. It holds a quart.
