About Us: I grew up on a small dairy farm in New Bethlehem, PA, and graduated from high school in 1966.  By this time  the old Surge Milkers were being fazed out and the "pipe-line" system with the bulk tanks for storing milk were taking over.  The local farms had Guernsey or Holsteins herds of 25-35 cows. It wasn't affordable for these small farmers to switch to the bulk tank system so many farmers were being forced out of business, having to sell their long-time family farms. A few were able to hang on for a few more years, selling "separated milk" to the local creamery which still shipped in cans. Eventually the only working dairy farms in the area averaged 250 cows and they milked almost around the clock. Thus came the large inventory of milkers, parts & equipment and the glass milk bottles all for sale.  Many of these items were tossed in land fills or old coal mines and buried. I know of some original dairies in Pennsylvania that now wish they had saved a few of their own bottles...

All Inventory on this site is available for sale.  So here I am with rare old dairy milk bottles, milk cans, caps, and equipment for the collector and the home decorator. Email me with questions or with requests for something special you are looking to purchase and I will try to find it for you.  Enjoy the site and a step back into the past.

We also offer for sale milk bottles from other states, other dairy items, porch boxes,
 caps, crates and many miscellaneous items.
