If you are a collector of antique or vintage milk bottles, then the big question for you might be, where to find vintage milk bottles for sale. There are not a whole lot of places that sell them, but for starters, you can look in antique shops and see what you find.
While many antique shops do not sell them, some do, although you might be limited as far as what kinds are available. Most antique shops do not carry large collections of antique milk bottles, although one good shop to check out that has a very large collection of vintage milk bottles for sale is the Dog House, in Pennsylvania. They also have different other items such as vintage milk crates and vintage milk bottle tops as well.
Another good place to get in touch with if you are collecting vintage milk bottles, looking for milk bottles for sale or just want to get more information about where to find vintage milk bottles, is the National Association of Milk Bottle Collectors, Inc. They not only publish a newsletter every month but also hold a yearly convention in Hershey, Pennsylvania where you can show off your vintage milk bottles, see other vintage milk bottle collections, and buy and sell milk bottles as well.

Of course, there is always the option of going out and hunting for the bottles yourself. For some people, that is where the real fun lies. If you live near old dairy country, you might want to do a little digging (literally) to see what you can find. If you are venturing on to private property, always be sure to ask for the owner's OK before starting your hunt. If there are any old farms in your area, consider asking the owners if they have any old bottles stored away. Many times, they are not actually collecting the bottles themselves, but they know of some old ones that have been stashed away on their property. These hidden stashes are also a reason why you should make sure to check out any estate sales being held on farm property. I like to visit estate sales anyway, and I have found that sales held on farm property often hold some of the best old treasures. While others are inside the actual house buying up country kitchen collectibles, you will want to head out to the much less crowded barn area. That is usually where the really neat old stuff (like bottles) gets pushed aside.
Besides the above mentioned locations, your best bet for finding vintage milk bottles is E-bay. E-bay has a good sized section where you can find not only vintage milk bottles for sale but also vintage milk bottle crates and cardboard milk bottle tops of all kinds. There are quiet a few vintage milk bottles up for sale there, from the Daffy Duck American Style milk bottle to even milk bottles from other countries such as Poland. There are milk bottles for Kellogg’s corn flakes advertising, Maxwell House advertising, and bottles advertising Colgate's Junior toothpaste. There is really a very fascinating selection at E-bay that you would not want to miss; you should actually bookmark it and check it regularly if you are serious about collecting vintage milk bottles, as, if something really good comes up, it is likely to go pretty fast.
