Carol... I hit a site about a week ago and I seen a bottle (not broke, and right on top of the ground. I wouldn't dig for them anyway) that had that hexi-shape, but with many more "sides" to it (I know... remember... the ketchup *catsup* bottle you speak of. I can't remember the name of that multi-sided bottle shape that I speak of, but I'm sure someone will remind me. I used to know all of 'em.
). I also found a 45 record that I put on top of the hexi-bottle and left it there at that site. I determined (at my age, and having "been there"...
) that it was a Zarex bottle... the quart size. Remember them?
Anyway... I did grab the hex bottle (but it's outside on the porch, and I jus' have a lazy butt tonight, so I ain't goin' out there to get it.
) and this milk bottle that was also on top of the ground.
I had an uncle that was a milkman in that town (the town I was born in... and it's a half hour away from where we bought our home), and he probably had this very bottle in his hand... 'cause there wasn't a lot of milkmen back in the 50's around here/there. This is the exact-type bottles I remember him having in his truck when us kids would chase his milk truck jus' to get a small chunk of ice... ('member them days?) then after that, it was a chase to get a small chunk of dry ice.
With a "Maine" stamp, here's the bottle that "followed me home":
(Oh... that's crazy Mike Myers in "Wayne's World" in the background...!)
