Bottled milk deliveries???

Community Champion ⭐⭐⭐

Yes Lee! I was hoping someone would remember this too.

We had a container just like this one that was kept right up against the house next to our front door. The milk would be delivered just after dawn in glass bottles by a milkman who always wore a black cap and a bow tie. ….Lying in bed, I would hear the muffled sound of those bottles chinking and chiming together as the milkman carried them. Such a gentle alarm clock! 😇

It was a special treat to be told that I could gently peel off the foil cap at the top of the bottle, and there was always a tiny bit of cream at the top for my reward.

. ….. I still have two of those bottles! (After stuffing them with cotton balls, they are a sweet memory sitting high upon a shelf in my kitchen.)

We are heading out to our small town’s annual “Good-bye Summer/Greetings Autumn” Festival. ….and the memory of wrapping up and putting away this item on a shelf in the garage - right around this time of year - Just popped into my mind. Geez….over half a century ago that was! ☀️🏖️🍂

Clackers! Yes, the glass ones! That and Jarts Lawn Darts were popular.

Gosh yes! My Junior High banned these in just 3 days. I had these as well as Jarts, My best friend shattered her kitchen window with her Clackers …..🥴

I actually have one of those ! (but dont tell "the guys". If they found out Id probably get kicked out of the "guy club" and have to turn in my secret decoder ring.)

Lee,

Thanks for the smile! I still have mine too, but it’s in rougher shape than the one pictured! 😇 (….and you are quite welcome in this club! )

I only know what this is because I used it with supervision/coaching from my Dad and then my HS boyfriend! 😊
