Thanks to Scott for sending this awesomeness:
“Here’s a milk bottle I found last weekend when I squeezed into my ridiculously tight crawlspace to repair some holes. Shimmying my way out I passed by this sticking out of the dirt. From what I found, H.L. Alden was a milk dealer in the 1910’s-20’s based out of 211 10th St. SW.
Interesting newspaper clip here notifying the public milk prices were going up and the public was welcome to look at their books. Lynchburg was 16 cents a quart for reference.
Our house in Carver-Langston was built in 1926. Maybe it rolled off the porch and under during construction, or a thirsty worker dropped the bottle after lunch? However it ended there, a cool artifact from the past.
