This bottle is dark purple and has a little spout on the top. It reads on the bottle "Absolutely Pure Milk" and then there is a picture of a farmer milking a cow and underneath the pic it says "the milk protector" The letters are raised and the spacing isnt consistant. In other words the letters are not perfectly positioned on bottle. Some have a bit of a gap between them others are closer together. There are wrinkles and bubbles in the glass. The color is kind of a reddish purple.

Good afternoon, Sarah,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. So that I may best assist you, is it possible for you to take a clear photograph of the bottom of the bottle and upload it here? There may be information there that will help me identify when this bottle was made, and possibly also who made it.
Many thanks!
Delia
