In the late 60's my mom was buying raw milk from a local farm. It came in large-mouthed gallon glass jars, of the mayonnaise or pickles variety. Not robust enough for commercial use, for sure. IIRC glass milk bottles are more like hollow bowling pins, and nearly as stout. -- Jim

Near as I can tell from brief research, the largest glass container of milk in the 1950s would be half-gallons... I have seen gallon cartons in the past, but they're somewhat unwieldy. Most dairies use plastic jugs for milk nowadays. On Sun, Mar 19, 2017 at 7:52 PM, Mountain Man via Mercedes <
