Milk Bottle | 1953 Half Pint | Queens NY Dairy | Embossed Glass Collectible","description":"\u003cp\u003eA half-pint milk bottle from Elmhurst Cream Co. Inc., a Queens-based dairy that bottled and distributed milk across the New York metropolitan area in the postwar decades. The bottom code EC 53 dates this bottle to 1953 with confidence — EC for Elmhurst Cream, 53 for the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmbossing detail: Front: ELMHURST CREAM CO INC | Back: ELMHURST CREAM CO INC | Bottom: EC 53\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 4.75\" H × 2.5\" diameter | Clear glass | Minor scratches, minor interior hazing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNamed dairy bottles like this one represent one of the most hyperlocal categories in vintage glass collecting — the Elmhurst Cream name ties this piece directly to Queens in 1953, when neighborhood dairies still operated independently across New York's outer boroughs. Use it on a farmhouse kitchen windowsill, as a bud vase for a single dried wildflower or lavender sprig, or as part of a cottagecore shelf vignette with other vintage glass. A thoughtful gift for anyone with Queens or NYC roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecovered from New York City's historic shorelines and landfill sites by Brooklyn Sea Glass.
