BORDENS FARM PRODUCTS

[SHERMANVILLE ILLINOIS]

BORDEN'S FARM PRODUCTS

...............Rain let up, and had to get out.

Many areas still under water or soggy. Decided
why not hit the woods.

Did some scouting. Wet, muddy, bugs bad in
some areas, still too much green to see good.

Looking for dumps, come across a few areas. Worked
them with the detector and pulled up a few clumps of
metal. Will be working this area in the fall.

Shards, and this Borden's bottle. Real nice,
heavy as all heck for a half pint.

Markings: Logo+"QUALITY SERVICE,TRADE, BORDEN'S, MARK"/
end logo/"BORDEN'S/FARM PRODUCT'S CO/ OF ILLINOIS/CHICAGO, ILL"

Other side: "THIS BOTTLE PROPERTY OF AND FILLED BY /SEALED/
BORDEN'S/1/2PINT"

Bottom had a "B" with what could be a 3. Also along bottom edge
"W"with a 3 on top plus a "4" across from the W on the edge.

Borden's is a big dairy product company and thought milk at first
but have to do some checking. Note that there is no MILK, or
DAIRY. Only "FARM PRODUCTS"

Had a good time, have not been out in the woods for a bit and
really enjoyed it. Also think the bottle is a nice size and design
with the flat ridges. No real idea yet, but would think the 50"s.

all have a good un.............

Re: BORDEN'S FARM PRODUCTS

Stoney,

strange. See photo in post above, sure looks like a "B".

Old saying, about not believing everything on the web;
but it could be another variety, but I think it is an error.

Thanks for the info.

have a good un............

Re: BORDEN'S FARM PRODUCTS

Thanks everyone for the input and info.

I really like this bottle; I'm sure it's not worth
much as a collectable but for some reason I
like it.

Heavy as heck; makes you wonder what the
product cost back then and what the cost of
the bottle was.

Heavy, squat, only had it a day, and its growing
on me; like it.

Think I'll be stealing it back from the woman.

all have a good un............

also :P

Re: BORDEN'S FARM PRODUCTS

we had them 1/2 pint bottles back in grade school. in the late 50s. your bottle is probably older than that. i cant remember when we started to get the little paper cartons ,but i can recall them little bottles. a fitting display with the mibs.course im partial to the mibs.
