Pictured here are two 1/2 pint baby tops from PARKDALE DAIRY...WASHINGTON NEW JERSEY & NICKLEDALE FARM...SHELTON CONNECTICUT. The back of the Parkdale bottle shows a boy & girl with PROTECT THEIR HEALTH WITH PARKDALE MILK...WASH & RETURN DAILY. The back of the Nickledale bottle has a cow scene with F.C. NICHOLS & SON.
Both made nice additions to my collection. The hunt continues................
when you're on your hunt, watch for a cop top bottle. I feature a police officer with his hat on. I found one at an auction and was only interested because it was a
baby-faced bottle. A friend and avid milk bottle collector, pointed to the cop top. I am glad that he did, because I would have never noticed it.
Hello hotairfan...Yes, there is definitely a difference between baby top milk bottles and cop the cream milk bottles. Michael Pecora invented the baby top in 1936. Afterwards the Gennaro Brothers invented the cop the cream style in 1938 to compete against the baby top style. I have over 600 different bottles in my collection that used these types.
