Question

I have a glass milk bottle from 1887 what is it worth.?

Answer 1

put it out on e-bay with a starting price of 200 $. than you will see the comments and act accordingly.

Answer 2

To be honest, the answer cannot be specific. for example it is totally worthless to me since I have no use for it (it must be inedible now), but it could be very valuable to a food museum. It depends on how much a museum (in case they are interested) really thinks it needs your milk (demand) and how easily your are able to part with it (supply). It's a whole jungle, and giving a specific price would be to lie to you.

Answer 3

This will depend on a few various details:

1. What condition the bottle is in.

2. What brand of milk it is (if any).

3. Where it's from in the world.

Your best bet for proper appraisal would be to take it to a well-known antiques dealer or to a museum.
