Manufacturer: Mettowee Farms
Neat find out of a home. This is a vintage milk bottle cap or insert for an old glass milk bottle. This one does not have a staple in it nor a center tab which you would pull up to take this out of the milk bottle, so we think this piece was made to be inserted into another piece which together formed the milk bottle cap. We don't know that for certain, but that is our best guess (and we've seen some milk bottle caps made in that manner).
This was made for and marked for Mettowee Farms, Upper Saddle River, N.J. (New Jersey, NJ), for use with their Pasteurized Reconstituted Skim Milk. The cap also states, "Contains: Skim Milk from Reconstituted Nonfat Milk Solids, Not to be Sold After Date Stamped on Top". There is also a zip code included after New Jersey, 07458. Since zip codes were first introduced nationally in 1963, we believe this cap dates to the 1960s.
Round, with a diameter of about 1 9/16 inches, made of paperboard and a thickness of about 1/16th inch. This milk bottle cap is entirely flat as originally produced. From the pristine, very clean look, we think it was never used, but don't know that for certain.
We've shot images both with and without the camera lighting. The flash of the camera lightens the look and coloring of this piece, making it appear "whiter" and newer looking, rather than the aged, tanned paper look in person, but this lets you see the detail of this piece better. Not using the flash, on the other hand, makes this piece appear darker than it will look in person. The true coloring is a cross in between these two options (sorry, we did the best we could). Please use the zoom feature to examine closely.
Excellent aged paper vintage condition. As stated prior the topside looks really clean and pristine and great. The underside has a mottled, dark look with a few tiny spots, but we think this is largely how made. Ready to add to your collection.
Please note that this item must be shipped by U.S.P.S. First Class Mail Package rate (we will encase the milk bottle cap in cardboard to help prevent from bending). It can't be shipped via U.S.P.S. Media Mail, so pleased don't choose that option.
We have listed many milk bottles and other milk bottle caps for sale. If you are interested in more than one item, please e-mail us prior to placing the order. The system is set up to compute shipping for each item individually and will not calculate the savings you would get by shipping multiple items packed together. We would be pleased to calculate that for you. |
