    What are the other "words" on the bottle besides the "one quart liquid" and "Swiss Brook Farm" and "Pa." [Pennsylvania]? ;)

    I'll tell you what I like about the bottle . . . I really like the addition of the raised clear glass circles around the top neck of the bottle at the pouring rim.

    It conveys to me that "early morning dewdrops" are still on your "fresh" bottle of milk. Subtle, but eye-catching. ;)

    Searching for "Swiss Brook Farm" of "Riegelsville, PA", I have found a number of references to its owner, LESTER P. FREY, all from the 1930's.

    I don't have time right now to dig deeper, but that may be a starting point.

    It appears molded. Are there mold lines that go up to the top or is it a 'blob' top?
