Vintage Borden's Red Milk Bottle - The Holy Grail of Milk Bottles!
Vintage Borden's Red Milk Bottle - The Holy Grail of Milk Bottles!
SOLD $3,300.00 Sold: Apr 11, 2024 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
This was part of a test by Borden's in 1957 to see if a red milk bottle would do well with consumers. Needless to say, the test didn't go well. Who wants to look at red milk! There were only a few test bottles made and there are only about a dozen known to exist. This particular bottle was purchased by my dad on ebay years and years ago and he paid $3500.00 for it. I don't know if he put the labels on it or if the seller did, though my dad was a bit of a label nut. I will leave them on and let the buyer decide whether or not to remove them. I have not seen any chips or cracks though there are small bubbles throughout and a few small dots of color loss. This piece has been displayed in non-smoking homes. Please look at all photos carefully and contact me with any questions that you may have prior to purchasing. It will be double boxed and insured. Actual shipping costs will apply for Alaska and Hawaii. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
