Why Track This
The most historically resonant single catalog entry: it includes a “Roselawn Farms — Three Rivers, Texas” bottle — a dairy located in the very town where the glass was made — plus a direct callback to the company’s very first product ever made (per the 1922-12-14 first-milk-bottle story).
Current State
Eight distinct dairy-container variants catalogued together by Smith. Highest values go to the named-dairy quarts (Phoenix Dairy and Roselawn Farms, both $25-28); plain, unbranded bottles are the least valuable ($8-12).
Next Action
None.
Notes
Cross-reference: three-rivers-glass-primary-source-timeline 1922-12-14 entry — the company’s first-ever product was a milk bottle, presented to a schoolteacher as a souvenir.
