The glass shows moderate level scuffs / wear from extensive use. The white pellets filling the bottle are very good at hiding scuffs.

Those plastic caps tend to be brittle and are subject to easy cracking - durability can't be guaranteed.Pyro Graphics On Bottle: Pyro graphics on one side with decorative framing in both pyro and snaky vertical ridges in glass:KEN SDAIRYEDEN N.Y.Pyro graphics on other side with decorative framing in snaky vertical ridges in glass plus pyro image of child's wooden I L K spelled in play ANY TIME!Dairy Name (Bottle #2): Reed Family Farm DairyDairy Location (Bottle #2): Kittanning, Pennsylvania (Armstrong County).Bottle / Graphics Condition: Great looking graphics with mild wear.

Bottle Glass Condition: Washed inside and out. No cracks, chips or significant damage are seen on any of the bottles. Of course there is some normal wear from use as the bottles were in circulation in their working days. You may find any of the usual assortment of case and carrier scuff marks, light stains, rough spots, tiny flea bites, scratches, and glass manufacturing irregularities. Additional comments on glass wear were mentioned above. Please examine photos for the complete description Bottle Carrying Handles: Plastic carrying handles are on all of the bottles except for one.Carrier Description and Condition: The wire carrier with hard, rotating handle grip is in good structural shape with light wear from use. There is a little rust. The carrier is probably made of galvanized steel. It attracts a magnet. Only light wear is seen on the hand grip. The carrier is approximately 11 inches high, about 11 inches wide and about 13 inches long. I don't know where or when the carrier was made, but it has been in my possession since the early 1990s. Please examine photos for the complete description. The carrier is designed to hold six half gallon milk bottles like the ones included Additional Comments: I think this set displays very nicely. The white pellets you see in the bottles are included. Keep in mind that white pellet fill not only makes the graphics stand out, it also helps to hide small flaws and light wear.

The bottles will be shipped in the carrier with padding to help prevent rubbing and rattling. If wrapped individually outside of the carrier a super giant sized box and more packing materials would be required and that would make the already expensive shipping costs even higher. Double-boxing will be used to add further protection from delivery abuse. If UPS delivers to your address, that might be the least expensive shipping method. (UPS doesn't deliver to PO Boxes and may have other restrictions.) Check out all shipping options offered for the best choice for your situation. You can also choose USPS Ground Advantage or USPS Priority Mail shipping methods at checkout. If you choose UPS shipping and I find it is reasonable to ship by USPS instead, I may use USPS if there are no objections.
