Hello Murray,

Welcome to the Bottle Department. The Kern's is from Port Huron, Michigan. Any value would depend on how well it cleaned up. It looks like you have some ACL loss. In very good condition they seem to be a $10-$12 bottle. There's some Kern History here: http://www.thetimesherald.com/article/20091227/OPINION02/912270328/Connell-Raise-glass-Port-Huron-s-past

Your milk has turned a light amethyst color from long exposure to the sun, reacting with the manganese, used as a decolorizing agent, in the bottle. The bottle guys call this SCA, for sun colored amethyst.
