Manufacturer: William Kayfus Dairy
Neat find out of a home. This is a never used, never opened vintage milk bottle cap or insert for an old glass milk bottle.
This was made for and marked for William Kayfus (Dairy Farm) of Sandy Hook, Conn. (Connecticut, CT) for use with their Milk. The cap states "Approved Milk from Tuberculin Tested Cows". From some internet research, we read that tuberculosis testing was an issue that dairies would point out on their products during the 1930's, so we think this milk bottle cap dates to that period, although we can't guarantee that (but it's our best guess).
Round, with a diameter of about 1 5/8 inches, made of paperboard with a single staple in the cap and a thickness of about 1/16th inch. We are saying this was never used because the flap one would pull up on in the center of the cap in order to lift the cap insert out of the top of the bottle has never been pulled up, this piece/flap is entirely flat as originally produced.
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. Shows a little bit of light dirt/smudges/wear on the topside, nothing bad, and a touch of expected variation in the printing coverage as often occurred. The underside also has a bit of wear/discoloration and two indented lines and some slight paper edge wear, but nothing bad. Ready to add to your collection or display on a milk bottle you own.
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.
