SOLD $100.00 Sold: Nov 14, 2019 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
Early one handled milk or cream can, embossed with COLT FARM BRISTOL RI. As with so many milk cans they were later painted and this one was also hand painted so you can not see the M in FARM and the I in RI. It is a heavy and authentic milk can. To research I googled Colt Farm Bristol and up came the fascinating story about a very wealthy SAMUAL COLT who started this massive farm in 1905, he died in 1921. In 1965 the state of RI purchased the property which is now COLT STATE PARK. I think this is not just an ordinary farm milk can but one with historical significance. This jug measures about 1
