Hi Alee, what do the carriers look like? I know this is a strange question...Patricia

I'd be happy to post a picture. :) Thanks for the vinegar and baking soda tip. I've got them in a vinegar soak now.
The two I have hold the 1/2 gallon size, and they are in different styles. Alee can share more information about the crates.
We make a difference. |

Michelle-
Thanks again for taking some great photos! I sent Doug out to take a photo or two of the ones I have but our camera was out of power.
I can sell the crates for $15. They are an ultra heavy duty galvanized wire construction. These were the crates that they used for home deliveries. I can get more info about them tomorrow.
Thanks!

Alee,
I have not recieved the others as of yet but would love to put in an order for the small ones, depending on the price I will want 6- 24 depending on their price and shipping. Also I am interested in two crates. Could you please e-mail me as you have in the past? I am head high in mid-terms and don't always get to come here and chat right now! Oh also let me know about the pogs...I am interested in those as well!!
Thank you ever so much again!!
Hugz!

Oh, wow! I'd like a crate and as many of the half-gallon bottles that will fit inside one. How many do you think I could get in there?

Hi Jodi-
6 of the half gallons fit inside a crate. They are loads of fun! If you would like to- please email me and we can chat about how to get your some Milk bottles!
I just got back from the dairy. I bought all the milk bottles for people who have sent their money in already so I will be sending lots out tomorrow via Fed-Ex. My car is filled to the top with milk bottles right now! How fun is that?
Oh and she does have half-pints for sale now- they are $4 a piece since there are not as many of them left. They are adorable though!
Thanks!

Alee, could I have 2 of the half pints?
Mima and Kathie, thanks for the porch compliment. It was my first home remodel project. Had to completely rebuild it from the rock foundation up. Restored the railing. I even found the shards of the crock (at a dumpsite on our land) and rebuilt it. I'm currently trying to convince DH to restore and put up the original front door, which has lovely stained glass, but it isn't as easy to secure. Y'all come by and sit a spell with me!

Hi ladies!
I just got back from the old Dairy. We are having a hard time finding Half-Pints. So for right now sales on Half-Pints are on hold-
However- We did find more printed half-gallons (a few) so we have printed half gallons, plain half gallons, quarts and pints still for sale.
Thanks!

Sunshine-
All the prints are different. I have multiples of the "Cole Farm" one that is pictured on the other thread. What happened was this dairy bought bottles from other dairies when they closed so some of the bottles are the same-but there are lots that are different. I can find you four fun and funky ones with writing on them. Just let me know your color preference- green, red, orange or blue. I am not sure how many of the blue ones that I will find though.

Sunshine- There are
Half Gallons that are printed that come in:
Green
Orange
Red (several shades of red and different logos and patterns it just depends on what I can find)
I might be able to find a blue/teal but I can't promise that one- but I will sure look!
Then there are Plain
Half gallons
Quarts
Pints
So there are 4 different types of bottles and several different colors for the printed half gallons. I hope that makes sense.

Sunshine-
I am not sure how many different logos there are since they are in a huge heap at the old dairy. It really is like a treasure hunt.
At my house right now I have 5 different types of red logos, 2 different types of Orange logos and one that had the green writing in the small print like is pictured on the other thread. I can always go back and look for more- but I have no idea what is at the dairy. I just know that there are more. I did see one today that was green and more red and orange ones.
