Description
A small, glass bottle with a short body, gently sloping shoulders, and a long, straight neck. The neck has a narrow, rounded lip at the top, and the glass is unseamed. The neck also has measure marking from bottom to top, graduated (in 5's) from '0' through '50'. At the left of the '50' is '18G' On the bottom back of the bottle's body is a logo: ' G R'. On the front is a hexagonal, greyish patch which is designed to be written on. There are faint numbers visible on this patch. Below this is a small, faint 'USA' printed in small dots, and below this is 'K'.
History Of Use
Glass bottle that was apparently used at the Telkwa Creamery from 1939-1969. Apparently glass test-tube-like bottles such as this one were filled with cream and put in a centrifuge. As the tubes spun in the centrifuge the butterfat rose to the top and to the surface.
