Milk Bottles - 1/2 Pint and a 1/4 Pint
Hello:
I found these at a thrift shop. Was wondering their age? And their value.
The one on the left is a 1/2 Pint and has "3 cent" on the neck and also has "3 cent deposit" on the shoulder. On the bottom around the base it reads "SEALED UCPSI HALF PINT LIQUID". It also has seams that fade on the neck.
The second bottle is a 1/4 Pint, and is cool. It reads "SCMDA" on the side with a large M. On the other side, there is a small "1" with a triangle after it. The neat thing are the small bumps on the neck; there are a total of 16 with 8 on each side. Also on the top of the lip, there is a "0 6" or "9 0", Depends on how you hold it. There is a seam which disappears at the lip.
Also, did these contain milk? Why so small? Perhaps cream?
Any information would be helpful.
Thanks,

These have some minor value - most collectors are eager for milk bottles with the name and town of the dairy marked on the glass.
Your bottles are earlier 20th century.
